The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Right-to-buy council housesFirst off, of course you'll get a mortgage to RTB easily, no matter what your credit rating. The lenders prefer it when you default on your high interest loan.
Now the council assessor who values your RTB house basically does three things: -
1) Inspects your house so he can go back to the office and laugh with everyone about what a shithole you live in. The top three was the imigrant family who hadn't flushed the loo in 6 years; the indian restaurant worker who was washing the previous night's plates in his bath; and the hand painted sign on a house full of pikeys "be wear! dogz on petrol"
2) Your house will be vaules soley on the amount of bedrooms it has, this is the law. don't even think about trying to tell us how your hand laid laminate flooring and hand build kitchen units have increased the value so you should pay less.
3) If your council house has a big garden, it's just possible that you might get approached unnofficially with an offer to sell the extra land so we can do a bit of property developing in our spare time.
Length? We'll have to send a survey team round.
