That is the reason that Clegg was giving for having a reduced VAT rate. House insulation grants are available for most; details here:

Well not one of them wants to take the VAT off of the cost of insulating my house, why are we paying VAT on insulation.
Why are we paying VAT on double glazing. If they want us to be green then act upon it.

There is an interesting comparison of all 3 parties policies towards housing here:


The Labour party policies appear to be the most comprehensive.

I believe the Lib Dems have also floated the idea that VAT at a lower rate should be paid on new builds.

Any one who has been following the election campaign diligently care to comment how they see any party victory (or hung parliament) affecting the housing market?

Very frustrating I agree, however it is not unusual to take a long time to break through a resistance level (40p) and then come back and test it as support before continuing upwards.

Hi All, held TW for quite a while now and really thought we were going to build on last weeks gains. Hope that things will settle down after the election/Greece situation and find some support in the mid 40's!
Spenny, read the threads for a while and appreciate the charts etc..keep it up.
