According to EcoHip, from October all homes for sale and rent in England and Wales will require an energy report.
Landlords will have to provide tenants with an energy certificate and everyone selling a home will need one as part of their HIP (Home Information Pack).
West Midlands based EcoHIP, which produces hundreds of HIPs every month for customers across England and Wales, says it will mean extra cost but the benefits could be significant.
“The certificate will show an A-G rating similar to that seen on white goods, like fridges and washing machines, but importantly it will also provide an estimate for what the tenant or buyer will be paying in energy bills, it will also offer information on reducing bills, such as insulation or through a more efficient heating boiler.”
Said EcoHIP managing director, Patrick Headley.
