<description><![CDATA[I understand that ALL properties need to have an EPC from 1st October. This includes any property that was on from before Hips came out and also rental properties?<br/><br/>Is this true?  What will it do to the already pretty quiet Market? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I had yet another exammple yesterday where the searches were out of date.  Wasted money.  HIPs are pointless.  With my clients they have already wasted a significant amount of money.  Guess how they are funded - by the taxpayer.  It is our money being fri...]]></description>
