Scrapping HIPs – caption competition
We would like to take the opportunity to thank all our past Home Information Pack clients. It has been rewarding helping you to speedier transaction times, smoother exchanges, … STOP IT, its gone.
Of course we intensely disagree with these actions as they could possibly destroy our business and feel it is a backward step. However, we intend to dust ourselves down, re-group and go on to fight another day.
We will continue to provide the EPC when required and have launched a new website Housing Energy Advisor which we are excited about and will hopefully help give us some focus and divert the pain. We have some other exciting plans we look forward to telling you about in due course, so watch this space.
For the time being; in an attempt to raise a smile, some would say gallows humour we are running a caption competition on a photograph from the day they scrapped HIPs.

Prizes – We will be contacting Kirsty Allsopp today to see if she has any nic nacs from Meadowgate she would like to donate as prizes for winning entries.
Please leave your entry for the caption competition in the comments box below.
Please note : Please keep the comments suitable and appropriate as we will be unable to publish any that are offensive and not ‘family friendly.

Eric: Grant you have tied up my bloody fingers, you prat.
Grant: Oh er Sorry Mr Pickles, which hand would like me to wipe your arse with.
Kirsty: Will you two imbeciles hurry up, I am holding this thing up on my own, like I do with that poxy house hunting show with that useless Phil.

Scrapping HIPs caption competition:
“and this demonstrates our next project… how to make it virtually impossible for anyone to ever find out what they need to know about a property – sponsored by our experts and paymasters: the NAEA!”

Mr Pickles saying;
” Grant, you have wrapped my hand and steak pie up the redtape, how am able to eat now”?
Mr Grant to Mr Pickles saying;
” There are thousands asking themselves that same question right now. So stop your blubbing”.
