The introduction of Home Information Packs will "severely damage" old and listed buildings and the health of their occupants, a leading heritage body has warned. A new energy ratings system for homes that are put on the market will lead house sellers to make "misguided attempts to save energy" that will be detrimental to older houses, it is feared. From June 1, all homeowners will be legally obliged to supply buyers with Home Information Packs (HIPs), including lease details, local searches and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) produced by a domestic energy assessor .
