BREAKING NEWS!!

HIPS SUSPENDED & EPC REGULATIONS REVISED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT

This morning, CLG have released a statement on their website confirming that the Home Information Pack (HIP) is to be suspended with effect from 21st May 2010 (tomorrow). In addition to this, CLG have revised the regulations to ensure that an EPC will be required at the commencement of the marketing of a property and a new duty has been introduced on both the seller and agent to ensure that the EPC has been commissioned.

The full statement can be read at http://www.communities.gov.uk/news/newsroom/1591783 and the main points are summarised below:

Communities Secretary of State Eric Pickles and Housing Minister Grant Shapps have today laid an order suspending HIPs with immediate effect, pending primary legislation for a permanent abolition. The Secretary of State has taken this swift action in order to avoid uncertainty and prevent a slump in an already fragile housing market. Today's announcement sends a clear message of encouragement to people thinking of selling their home that they can put it on the market with less cost and hassle.

Mr Pickles and Mr Shapps also said that the Government is determined to help people reduce their energy bills, improve our energy security and tackle climate change by increasing the energy efficiency of homes. Sellers will therefore still be required to commission, but won't need to have received, an EPC before marketing their property and the Government will consider how the EPC can play its part in the new drive for a low carbon and eco-friendly economy.

Amended Energy Performance of (Certificates and Inspections) Buildings Regulations 2010
Sellers and estate agents are no longer required to have or provide copies of HIPs with effect from 21st May 2010. In order to ensure that people selling their homes continue to make an Energy Performance Certificate available to prospective buyers, CLG have also laid before Parliament the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 which introduces a number of new legal requirements on both sellers and agents including:

• a new duty on the seller to secure that an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) has been 'commissioned' before marketing of the property commences where no such certificate is already available

• an EPC has been 'commissioned' when a Domestic Energy Assessor has been instructed to prepare the EPC and the EPC has either been paid for or has given a clear undertaking to pay for it

• a new duty on the person acting on behalf of the seller, e.g. estate agents, to be satisfied that an EPC has been commissioned before commencing marketing

• a new duty on both the seller and a person acting on their behalf to make reasonable efforts to secure an EPC within 28 days

• all of the new duties carry fixed penalty fines where the seller and agent fail in their duties conferred on them by the new regulations

Terms and Conditions

Complaints Procedure

Government Legislation has now come into force since the 1st October 2008. This means that all sellers and landlords will be required by law to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for all buildings or parts of buildings when they are sold or rented before marketing.To achieve this you must employ an accredited energy assessor! You CAN NOT carry this process out by yourself.
Assessors can be either domestic (DEA) or Non-Domestic (NDEA) i.e. Commercial, some are both and must be accredited with one of the government approved schemes utilising the RdSAP software. (Reduced Standard Assessment Process)

Those carrying out the construction of a new building will be required to provide an EPC to the owner from the SAP software.

An EPC gives prospective buyers or tenants information on the current and potential energy efficiency and carbon emmissions of that specific building on the day of the inspection.

It does not however give you the exact fuel costs to heat, light and cook in the property for all cases! The software assumes certain standard patterns of use in order to provide a comparison!
