Score! Letting and Estate Agents Now Supercharged with Energy-Saving Skills!
Ever feel like your heating bill is stuck on “high” no matter the season? Well, there might be some relief on the horizon! The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) just launched a brand new standard specifically for letting and estate agents. This means they’ll be getting trained up on how to advise you on making your home more energy efficient.
Why the big focus on energy? It’s a win-win! By using less energy, you’ll be saving money on those bills, and helping the environment too. Plus, with the rising cost of living, every penny saved counts.
This new standard is expected to be in place by October, so next time you chat with your agent about a new place, they might be able to point out features that’ll keep your energy use (and your bills) down. They could even recommend ways to improve your current home’s efficiency.
But here at The Gallery Properties, we’re taking things a step further! Our very own director, Lukas, is a fully qualified Retrofit Coordinator. That means he’s an expert in helping homeowners and renters make their properties more energy-efficient and comfortable. So, whether you’re looking for a new place or want to improve your current home, our team is here to guide you with the latest knowledge and expertise.
So, keep an eye out for those RICS-trained agents – they could be the key to a cozier (and cheaper!) home! And don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly – with Lukas’s leadership and our team’s knowledge, we can help you unlock the full potential of your property’s energy efficiency.
