Make one room a study and the other an unfinished en suite

No, sorry, you cannot get around the new buyers pack.
All properties for sale with four or more rooms must produce the now completely useless and unwarranted buyers pack.
If for example, you had a four bed house to sell, you would not be doing yourself any favours by saying it is a three bed house, thus avoiding the buyers pack. Reason, a three bed house is going to sell cheaper than a four bed house, etc. You just lose out.
The buyers pack is worthless and about as much use as an MoT on a bald tyred rust bucket on wheels. You know what I mean.

Not now. If you'd got it on the market (ie a contract with an estate agent was signed) before 1 Aug 07, then you wouldn't have needed one. After that you need one for all properties with 4 or more bedrooms. However, its only the wishy washy environmental survey that you need to get done and as I understand it these only cost a 2 or 3 hundred pounds. A drop in the ocean considering what everything else costs...

No this is another stealth tax by our most revered leader and will be enforced with all the zeal of the law. The pamphlet is to enable the government to make about £200 out of every one and thus prop up Brown's unearned excessive salary and that of the other labour hangers on.

Not really. Estate Agents can be prosecuted if they knowingly mislead in their advertising. People are saying that 1 bedroom is a study etc but it knocks value of your house in the end.

The other ploy being tried is a "dressing room" - but it is said that eventually the scheme will be extended to smaller houses anyway.
If it was going to be introduced, the scheme should have covered all houses, regardless of number of rooms, right from the start.

You could try turning one room into an office and another into a TV room, then claim it was a three bedroom house, might not get away with it though.

Welcome to the world of the Nanny state.
we ask the same question about the smoking ban in pubs, but we get ripped by the liberals.
As eveyone keeps telling me. The Law is the Law. And its for the good of everyone. So just pay up and dont question it. Our masters know what is best for us. Sorry.

Not if you plan on selling it you can't ... unless, maybe, you're selling it to someone close to you (such as a friend), but then they'd have to accept responsibility if anything untoward happened.
