I'm also in BNH and have been since the 90p days, just wish I'd bought a few more but isn't that always the way!!! I think BNH are an excellent low risk company and I'd be surprised if they don't pass the £3.25 mark sometime in 2007.
Re NDH, the following is a cut and paste from the Communities and Local Government News Release site where the Housing Minister makes it clear that the Governments intention is to move ahead with HIP'S as from 1 June 2007.
21 Sept 06: Cooper calls for incentives to improve home energy ratings
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) should be linked to incentives such as green mortgages, Housing Minister Yvette Cooper said today. EPCs could also be linked to schemes run by energy companies which give homebuyers cash upfront to make energy saving alterations to their houses.
Setting out the next steps on EPCs and Home Information Packs, the Minister said she would be meeting mortgage lenders and energy companies to discuss the development of these kinds of incentives.
EPCs, energy ratings for homes similar to consumer-friendly 'fridge ratings', will be compulsory as part of Home Information Packs from 1 June 2007. The EPCs will outline the costs of heating, hot water and lighting in homes and give practical advice on how to cut these costs and reduce emissions.
18 Jul 06: Government announces phased HIP roll-out to begin with energy certificates
The Government today announced plans for the introduction of Energy Performance Certificates as part of the phased roll-out of Home Information Packs to help consumers cut costs and waste when buying a home and help the environment too.
If the Govt were not to move ahead with HIPS then yes, I think this would impact the company going forward....they have spent I think nearly £500,000 preparing for their introduction.
Estimated total demand for HIPS in England & Wales is 1.5 million annually.... I wonder what % of this will come HIPSTAR'S way?
