EPC Charts Added

06/11/2007

In order to prepare for the introduction of the delayed HIP regulations, PropertyADD now boasts full and integrated support for EPC chart production.

From the 1st of August 2007 owners of four bedroom and larger properties in England and Wales will need to arrange for a Home Information Pack to be prepared before putting their homes up for sale. Smaller properties are expected to be subject to the same rules shortly afterwards, as the number of accredited energy assessors increases.

A key element of the HIP is the Energy Performance Certificate which must be the first document in the pack after the index.

No matter what happens regarding HIPS, with PropertyADD you can at least feel 100% prepared
