no. not the fault of the person who pulled it together and did the work, is it? why should they be out of pocket?Debt free 4th April 2007.
New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.0 -
No.
You asked someone to provide it for you, they did, and you paid them for it. It's not their fault the Govt moved the goalposts after that. They're probably out of a job right now, because of this change. Why should they have to refund your money?
You've still got the HIP that you paid for.0 -
i didnt mean the person who came and inspected the house, even though i think the pack was not worth the money, i meant from the goverment.
i wouldnt mind but people who put there house on the market, and they flying up by me have not paid that money out, and belive me when i say i skrimp to save that money.:starmod::p:staradmin0 -

Why didn't you say that in the first place? No. Again.
If the Govt changed VAT from its current 20% to 10%, do you think you'd be able to claim 10% back on everything you've bought from the Government ....?poshchatterbox wrote: »i wouldnt mind but people who put there house on the market, and they flying up by me have not paid that money out....
You mean those who put their houses on the market after you did have sold, and they haven't had to pay for HIPs? If other houses are selling and yours isn't, what does your agent have to say? Are you overpriced compared to the other houses? Have they had ANY enquiries?0 -
i just thought i would ask the question, just frustrated with the whole selling of house:starmod::p:staradmin0

If you have no viewing in 15 months, you need to be looking at what you are doing
Are you using an Estate Agent?
Assuming they have what have they advised you to do?I am a Mortgage Adviser

yes have got an estate agent really they keep asking us to drop the price which we have done, we have a terraced house last year valued at 140, but now have dropped to 116.950 but still no viewings, dont understand why we havent sold, i think i got nice house
i know there are a lot of people in same boat as me , its frustrating:starmod::p:staradmin0 -
If we assume that your price is about right, maybe even a bit high. No viewing in 15 months is not acceptable.
I would invite other agents round and ask them what they would do to improve results. You could consider going on a joint agency or switching entirely.
15 months with no views to me says that there is something fundamentally wrong and the EA is scared to be straight with you.I am a Mortgage Adviser
