Why You Need An Energy Performance Certificate?

From 14 December 2007, any home owner who wants to sell their property with 1 or more bedrooms has to obtain a Home Information Pack (HIP). By law the HIP has to contain an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) compiled by a Domestic Energy Assessor. This document  gives homebuyers and sellers an indication (or rating) of their homes energy efficiency and carbon emissions. It gives them current average costs for heating, hot water and lighting in the home as well as advising how to cut costs with energy efficiency measures.

Remember, if you are an Estate or Lettings Agent...

Remember, if you are an Estate or Lettings Agent, whoever goes to your client's property to carry out an EPC will be representing your company as the client has entrusted you to arrange the HIP or EPC. You need to be absolutely sure the person carrying out the work is professional, courteous and able and willing to spend the time to answer any questions your clients may have.

How much will my HIP cost?

How much does it cost to get a Home Information Pack? Well, it all depends on a number of criteria such as the type of property and whether you are selling or leasing. For more information regarding HIP's please contact HIP Direct where one of our highly trained team will be able to answer any questions you may have.
