Production costs varying over the seasons or supply availability I can understand.
I can't understand how /every/ UK supermarket chain made the same decision to decline the higher costs without asking myself if they spoke to each other about it. Emergent behaviour caused by racing to the bottom?
I'm someone who's still getting surprises from his property purchase (UK leaseholder, converted Victorian terrace).
I would have loved to know ahead of time about forthcoming issues I'd have to deal with that the survey didn't pick up.
Would likely still have gone ahead with the purchase (I was in a baby-induced rush), but with a stronger bargaining position. It's not as if UK property prices are reasonable in any case.
I _personally_ feel that not declaring serious flaws just because it's not legally required equates to lies by omission.
