As of 1st August 2007 the need for a domestic energy assessment became law for certain types of property placed on the market for sale within the UK.
Buying or selling a property is an emotive subject and is all too often a decision made by the heart and not the head, how many of us have purchased a new house because it had a nice kitchen or big garden. Considering this will probably be the most expensive purchase or sale we will make in our lives it is hardly the best basis to make a decision. Wouldn't it be better to have all the relevant information detailing the property to hand so that an informed decision can be made based on the important factors relating to the property. As part of the Home Information Pack it is a requirement to have a domestic energy assessment carried out and for an energy rating to be given to the property, the information contained within the assessment is not only useful to the prospective buyer but also to the seller, the seller can use the information contained within the assessment to identify areas where improvements can be made to improve the energy efficiency of their property and therefore enhance or improve the saleability of the property and the prospective buyer can equally assess the energy efficiency of the property and better judge the value.
