Home Information Packs

Following the Government’s announcement suspending HIPs but retaining the EPC, the Energy Performance of Buildings (Amendment) Regulations 2010 have now been released.

The new regulations are in force from 21 May 2010.

A brief summary of the headlines in the new regulations is as follows:

If there is not already an EPC for the property, the estate agent must be satisfied that an EPC has been ordered BEFORE marketing begins

Written particulars which include two out of three of: photographs, floor plan, room sizes, must also include the asset rating graph as soon as the EPC is available

The penalty on an estate agent for failure to order an EPC or include the asset rating graph in written particulars is £200
