When we cast our vote at the ballot box and elect Governments to represent our best interests and help our economy thrive, quite rightly we think they’ll put a lot of thought into the decisions they make.

We’re entitled to believe that any changes in will be well-thought-out and all consequences considered in the best interests of most citizens.

Well, that might be what we all expect but I’m sorry to say it’s often not the reality when it comes to regulations around the housing industry.

In most instances, our political leaders don’t think much beyond the press conference.
