Case study visit: Places for People, United Kingdom
September 1, 2016 admin

To develop international guidance for property appraisers, incorporating the collection and easy analysis of transparent energy data, the REValue project works with housing providers across Europe in identifying the relevant background information and evidence on the assumptions that valuers need to make. One of the partners in the United Kingdom is the social housing provider Places for People. Late September, the REValue team will meet leadership team for asset management and sustainability to discuss data and trends.

The objectives of the meeting are to find advanced qualitative evidence to improve understanding of the relationship between energy efficiency and value beyond the energy label alone. It aims to provide advanced understanding of market trends and key stakeholders’ positions, and to assess the type of information that will enable more sophisticated assessments of energy efficiency in relation to property appraisals.

Places for people are one of the largest property, development and regeneration companies in the UK, owning or managing over 150,000 homes with assets in excess of £3 billion.
