AHIPP responds to today's vote in the Commons

Mike Ockenden Director General, Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP), comments on today’s vote in the Commons: “Yet again, Government has demonstrated its commitment to reducing the carbon emissions of our housing stock and to improving the house buying and selling process for consumers across England and Wales, through the implementation of Home Information Packs (HIPs).

“Industry is ready to deliver HIPs and the benefits that the packs will offer to both consumers and the environment. There will be enough energy assessors - our latest survey has identified that over 3,500 home inspectors and Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) will be ready to produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPS) as of June this year.

“AHIPP and its members will continue to work towards the smooth implementation of the packs for the benefit of the consumer, the industry and the environment.”
