§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to require energy audits and advice to be included in the information provided by house vendors(a) in the pilot schemes of his house selling proposals and (b) subsequently. [100801]
§ Mr. MullinA key proposal in our package of reforms to the home buying and selling process is a requirement for the seller or the seller's agent to put together a pack of standard documents and information for prospective buyers, before the property is put on the market. The pack should include a house condition report which contains an assessment of how energy efficient the property is. The pack, including a house condition report and energy efficiency assessment, will be tested in the Bristol Pilot scheme starting later this month.
