erm . . . WOW
That is certainly not the case within Europe. My parents recently moved and during both house inspections the houses were given energy ratings.
Speaking to the agent the rating plays a huge role in the sale, people will accept a higher price for a better rating, or knock down the price due to a bad rating.
I dont know about now, but in England several years ago owners could recieve a subsidy for improving the rating of their house.
