According to new figures released today by Communities and Local Government (CLG), there are currently 1,340 accredited energy assessors now ready to conduct Energy Performance Certificates.
This comes as the Department for Communities and Local Government revealed last month it had to delay the launch of Hips till August 1 after only 520 inspectors had passed all the required exams.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), conducted by a fully trained and accredited energy assessor, will form a vital part of the Home Information Pack (HIP), which will go live on 1st August for properties with four bedrooms or more.
Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP) claims that there are a further 1,200 assessors who have applied for accreditation and will be fully accredited by the end of July. With this in mind, Government will easily meet the 2,000 target that it suggests is needed to provide HIPs for homes with three bedrooms or more.
With 1,340 energy assessors now accredited and a further 1,200 awaiting accreditation, those previously concerned about a lack of available assessors should be very encouraged by the latest figures.
