From June 1st, any house being put on the UK market for sale will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) as part of a home information pack for potential buyers. This will show how energy efficient a home is on a scale of A-G (similar to that on fridges etc). It will also show it’s CO2 output rating.
Recommendations will also be made as to how to improve the energy efficiency, reduce energy use, reduce CO2 output and reduce fuel costs.
There will be a cost to the homeowner to have an EPC done but that will be counterbalanced by energy savings and a reduction in global warming.
Your views please – do you think this is good or bad and what are your reasons?

Good idea. The seller will know what energy efficiency measures they have taken, and it saves a potential buyer having to scramble around in the loft to check insulation, check out the efficiency rating for the boiler, look for signs of cavity wall insulation etc.

Just an excuse to increase the price of properties, that’s it!!! In the unlikely event of prices being stable then yea it is really good thing.
