" ... to first-time buyers who have lived in Hillingdon for the last 10 years"
So local MPs' siblings only need apply.

"Grants for fully employed people" - well it makes a nice change from the dole-scum always getting the hand-outs. (Yes I know, welfare is a vital part of civilised society, blah blah)

So anything goes. Anything, that is, except a natural free market correction. Aside from the absolute wrongness of using taxpayer's money this way, the 7.5% grant is just a hook to snag the hapless FTBers who don't understand what is going to happen next.

This was advertised in a half page ad in the Hillingdon People magazine which is delivered "free" to our doors.The ad contained the Gibbs Gillespie logo/banner and their contact details should anyone feel,like I did,unable to contain their incredulousness.Call 01895 272742 for a chat with them.

Those guys at the CML should be strung up and shot today. They are loathesome greedy sh1tfaces - complete scum.

Tantamount to gerrymandering! Anyway the grant is worthless - my friends bought a property in 1988 in Cowley Uxbridge and it dropped by 50%. They sold it in 1999 (11 years later at a loss). FTB's - please don't fall for this - just wait a few more months for this correction to get underway.
