Industry reaction to HIPs announcement

Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP):

“It is difficult to understand how RICS can claim that it is acting in the public’s interest by denying them this much needed reform, and the benefits of reduced carbon emissions as a result of the EPC."

RICS
"We support the introduction of EPCs – we always have.
The additional time should be used constructively to iron-out the problems. The practical implementation of HIPs must serve the best interests of the consumer."

National Association of Estate Agents:
‘total chaos’

Rat and Mouse
"Clarity to everyone"

Council of Mortgage Lenders
"This cannot be an appropriate way to make policy."
