The trained Home Inspectors could also be deployed to inspect the current social & MOD housing stock
PS ~ Why engage the services of Kirsty Allsopp what professional property qualifications does she hold ?

Can anyone clear this up for me ? Does anyone know if it will still happen?

Hi there,
These policies are going to make great news in future, trust me
Thanks,
Cameron
