Lawyers and “experts” have come out swinging against a report suggesting a cartel of “experts” and lawyers has been fleecing owners of leaky houses. [Hat tip David Slack]
Lawyer Paul Grimshaw for one was just telling Radio Live that his own law firm is virtually a charity organisation when it comes to “helping out” home-owners – help that the Price Waterhouse report shows actually comes with a usurious price tag for all of us.
Who would have thunk it, eh. Rent-seekers seeking to protect their rorts.
