New energy efficiency surveys that must now be carried out on the sale or letting of a property are criticised as resulting in an unfair low energy rating for many homes.
Since 2006 an obligatory energy efficiency survey has been required on the sale and, more recently, the letting of property.
The survey is called the Diagnostic de Performance Energétique (DPE), one of several surveys and reports that form the complete home information pack, called the Dossier de Diagnostic Technique (DDT).
