Good luck with it. I thought you said you'd benn advised it wouldn't sell? Who'd listen to an estate agent?
Good luck!
GS, did I say that? Maybe I did, it's a question of timing.
SC, thanks, we might need it.
This is perhaps not the best time to give you a lecture on the superiority of the house-buying system in Scotland. Or South Australia. Or.....
D, a brief summary would be much appreciated. It might help me formulate yet another killer policy.

I assume the seller's HIP made the purchase of your new house a completely smooth and painless experience and that you are sending your thanks to the lovely Mrs Balls accordingly.
U, long time no hear!
Funnily enough, the estate agent said that HIPs had speeded up the process slightly, by maybe a week. AFAICS it was £300 down the toilet, but hey, that's a tiny fraction of what the estate agent charged, which in turn is dwarfed by the SDLT that the purchaser will have to pay.

Oh shit! If even you're becoming a fan of HIPs, we'll never get rid of them and the useless "profession" (ie NuLab voters bought with other people's money) they have spawned.
U, don't get me wrong, IMHO HIPs are a load of shit (esp. the energy rating bit), but only a minor expense/inconvenience in the grander scheme of things.
"but only a minor expense/inconvenience in the grander scheme of things."
Hmmm, sounds like approaching death, by a thousand cuts.
