Sold
Yup, I am finally getting myself a bigger and better abode in a nicer part of the village where I live. The house is a 3 bed detached and suitably nicer than my current 2 bed semi 
All has gone fairly smoothly so far - we accepted a rather cheeky offer from our buyers and to balance things put in a cheeky offer ourselves, which basically meant that I sold and bought at a relative price based on what prices were in the peak a few years back.
This is the first time I have had to get a Home Improvement Pack, which is, in my opinion, a complete and total pointless rip off. Some bloke came and did a five minute ‘energy survey on my property and created a little booklet based on his (incorrect and somewhat random) findings. Our vendors have yet to look at this booklet, and we had some difficulty in requesting the HIP for the property we are buying. When we did receieve it finally it was the same pointless information that we really did not need to know. How the HELL this helps buyers making a choice to buy a house is beyond me.
If these HIPs had actually replaced surveys it would have made much more sense, but to just have a little energy survey in for around £300 is rather silly.
Anyway, it is a fast sale due to the people we are buying from being a company and demanding a 28 day timescale… so its all a tad stressful, but ultimately worth it
