That reminds me ...... Only 18 months before HIPS are abolished ..... !!!!!!

Please explain - or shall I guess that this is a Tory election promise?

TIA.

It won't happen, even if the Tories win. HIPS were an EU initiative (albeit gold-plated well beyond the energy certificate the EU had proposed), and Cameroon is a raving Europhiliac.

Yes, it's a Tory election promise. HIPS have to go because they have a totally negative effect on the market, and nobody reads them anyway.

I feel sorry for the thousands who spent good money training to be HIPS inspectors only to see the market crash before their certificates landed on the doormat.

I can't say I feel all that sorry for people who, rather than do useful work, just thought they had found a gravy train parasiting on the backs of others.

I feel the same way about BTL landlords, politicians who get voted out, and quite a few IT contractors.

I think that's most unfair

They took a risk and paid to be re-trained. It's not their fault that some people think that it's a non-job

I suppose that's true. It is not always given to everyone, least of all me, to be able to make a living out of doing things that are visibly useful.
