What are the standards that GreenMoves uses to determine whether a property can be advertised on the website?
Answers
Advertisements for Eco Property
Each property advertiser is requested to complete a questionnaire often followed by further questions from us, to assist us in determining their eligibility for appearing on GreenMoves.
There is a number of standards that we use to assess eligibility, details will be shown within the property advertisement if a property has been assessed using these standards. The standards are:
BRE Eco Homes
Code for Sustainable Homes
SAP Ratings
Home Energy Ratings/Energy Performance Certificates
Other Criteria
The systems use a rigorous set of calculations and criteria to assess each property. The owner/developer has to pay a registered assessor to have the assessments carried out. The systems are well recognised by the construction/housebuilding sector and should be seen as a very useful guide to prospective green home buyers.
