PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(20 January 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of changes to home efficiency regulations on house prices.

Asked by:
Nick Timothy (Conservative)

Answer

The Future Homes and Buildings Standards consultation was published in December 2023 and closed in March 2024. It set out proposals for improving the energy efficiency of new homes and buildings. An impact assessment estimating the costs and wider impacts of the proposals was published concurrently and the consultation invited consultees to offer their views on this assessment.

We are carefully considering the feedback received. We intend to introduce new energy efficiency standards later this year and will publish an updated impact assessment at that time.
