HIPs could go in 100 days of Tory victory

Latest reports indicate that the Tories could get rid of HIPs within a 100 days of obtaining power.

This figure was mentioned by Shapps at the Home Sale Network conference last week.

The legislation that bought in HIPs does have a clause for the Government to suspend HIPs although experts believe that HIPs would instead be abolished by the use of secondary legislation.

This announcement came as a group the HIP reform group forms to campaign against the abolition of HIPs.
