They posted just over £1million profit on 42 properties here...
I heard the calculation goes that the final 5% of the development is the profit....
Being serious for just a moment - I dread to think of the total cost. Just to hire a skip is over £200 round here.
Scaffolding and crane hire.............. One hell of a bill.
I doubt big developers pay the headline rate.....

Just ridiculous......why on earth would anyone, or any council, or any planning department, think that a fake chimney is a good idea.....complete lunacy.
The final indignity - the local scrappy just jumped out of his van, smashed the chimney in the skipo to bits with a lump hammer and drove off with the lead!
Did he ask permission? It's theft if he didn't.

Normal behaviour for the scratters who cruise round looking for things to steal. A mate rang up a scrapman to tell him about some metal, the scum turned up, took the metal at the front, and then went in the back garden and stole a pair of flipflops that were by the back door. I'm strongly against capital punishment, but I'd cheerfully reintroduce crucifixion for these. In fact, crucifixion's too good for them.The final indignity - the local scrappy just jumped out of his van, smashed the chimney in the skipo to bits with a lump hammer and drove off with the lead!
My rabbit's nails. Anyone tried to roger him, he'd rip them a new one. It wouldn't be pretty. He can look after himself.Well I get where you are coming from but crucifixion for stealing a pair of flip flops seems a little harsh. What would you do if they rogered your rabbit?
To the OP - I suppose if one has a fake chimney one would require the services of a fake sweep.
I just wish I'd thought of this when the thread was first started.
