Leaders of the Pack

3rd December 2007

McCartneys are celebrating winning a major new contract to provide hundreds of Energy Performance Surveys for South Shropshire Housing Association.

The surveys are required for Home Information Packs (HIPs) and include an Energy Efficiency Rating, unique to each property. Surveyors inspect and record all aspects of the heating and hot water systems, looking at what measures are in place to minimise heat loss, such as roof insulation and filled cavity walls. They also make recommendations for improvement.

McCartneys have a team of qualified energy surveyors working throughout the Welsh Marches and across the four counties of Shropshire, Powys, Herefordshire and Worcestershire in both the private and public sector. They will provide South Shropshire Housing Association with around 600 Energy Performance Certificates.

Paul Sutton, Managing Director of SSHA, said, “The partnership with McCartneys in assessing our stock under the Energy Performance Certificate scheme has been a great success and places the association in an excellent position to provide EPCs to all its properties at time of letting or sale. I am particularly struck by the diligence and professionalism shown by the McCartneys team, which had a major bearing in the outcome.”

McCartneys Property Chairman, Wyn Jones, commented, “We were delighted when McCartneys won the contract from this major Housing Association for the provision of energy surveys which cements our position as the premier team of energy surveyors in this area. Such is the workload that McCartneys are continuing to grow the surveying team with another three energy surveyors passing their examinations only last week.”

Wyn Jones continued, “It is the Government’s intention to expand the requirement of Energy Certificates – both in the residential and commercial property fields. Indeed energy certificates are a European Regulation, so even if future UK Governments remove the HIP requirement, the need for an Energy Performance Certificate will remain. McCartneys, as the foremost property professionals in this area, are ready with our specialist and qualified team to meet the needs of the local residential and commercial property owner.”
