Blimey! When I saw the title of the thread I thought the rest was going to be "run the country" :rolleyes:

Could they do any worse?

Hmnn, scratch that, yes they probably could.

Looks like they are paying stamp duty on houses under 500k, right then thats made my mind up, plasterboard palace here I come, er NOT

When are they going to get it???, drop the price out of the straosphere and the buyers will return... it isn't rocket science.

For me - also leave enough parking for 2 cars, build the garage so that I can actually park my car there AND get out of it without the need of cutting the roof of, and also - leave me some garden and some distance between houses - I don't really fancy sharing my cup of tea with the next door neighbour through the window!

And... don't leave me with a garden that consists of 1 foot of top soil over 5 tons of builders rubble.

Been there, bought the t-shirt, filled the skips, broke my pickaxe handle.

:rotfl:, what isn't funny is your're requests are very reasonable but only when hell freezes will you see any of them.

I know - I was wondering why my grass is making odd coloured shapes.... And when I tried to remove some of the plants from the front garden, I couldn't believe what was there. And there was not even 1 foot of top soil, more like 1 inch....

P.S. We have sold the house since...

lol, I had a dry area of grass that was in a perfect rectangle. Turned out that it was a drain cover burried just under the lawn. :rolleyes:

Usually just a lurker, but hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet...

WTF?_2

I love the way that they are selflessly offering to 'shield' homebuyers from a fall in house prices.

Yes - that's right. All you people wanting to buy a home at an affordable price instead of the vertigo inducing figure of recent years, Barratt will help you out by 'shielding you' from having to pay less for it.

Speaking as a future buyer, let me just thank Barratt for pulling out the stops to protect me from the dangers of moneysaving :rotfl:

When I first saw the advert in the newspaper this morning I read it as they would give you back 15% of the drop in price - wonder if they've chosen their wording to be as unclear as possible on the offchance anyone might be interested?
