Why Sustainability Matters for Real Estate Agents
Energy efficiency for homes is measured by a star rating out of 10. New homes must meet a minimum of 6. However, the average for Australia is just 3 stars. Studies conducted in Australia and overseas have shown that homes with higher star ratings attract a larger resale value.
Researchers from the University of Melbourne conducted a study of 42,000 house sales in the ACT from 2011 to 2016. The study found five and six-star homes were worth 2% and 2.4% more than one-star homes, and homes with seven stars were worth an extra 9.4%.
A study in the UK indicated that a home’s resale value could be increased by as much as 13% if it had energy efficiency upgrades increasing comfort and reducing energy costs.
As awareness of energy efficiency continues to increase, the benefits of renewable energy (such as solar PV Panels) being able to quantify and present these benefits in a manner that prospective buyers can understand is important.

Energy Audits
If you are listing a home with very high energy efficiency credentials, or you have a prospective buyer who would like confirmation of a home’s energy efficiency level, EcoForm can help. We can provide a certified energy efficiency assessment, a star rating and recommendations on how to increase the star rating. This could be a valuable sales tool. We offer two services that can help in this regard:
- In-Home Energy Audits
- 6 Star Certifications (NatHERS)
Bushfire Services for Real Estate Agents
The introduction of the Bushfire Regulations 2015 has complicated the purchase of vacant land and houses with renovation potential within bushfire-prone areas. Prospective buyers will want to know what effect the bushfire-prone classification will have on their prospective property. EcoForm can help by providing BAL assessments, construction advice and feasibility assessments to assist the purchaser in making a decision.
- Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessments
- Bushfire Management Plan (BMP)
- Vulnerable Use and Bushfire Emergency Evacuation Plan (BEEP)
- 6 Star Certifications (NatHERS)
Real Estate Agent Consultancy

EcoForm can assist with ensuring your agency is aware of all legislation, potential changes in legislation and areas of growth within the bushfire, energy efficacy and sustainability areas. EcoForm is happy to be your contact in these fields, answering your questions and running information sessions for your agency.

Environmental Services for Real Estate Agents
Large commercial projects require more than a ‘tick and flick’ assessment of energy efficiency and sustainability. When evaluating potential land purchases that will become a commercial development, many councils have local planning policies that will restrict the potential of the land.
EcoForm can come on board as a consultant to assist the potential purchaser in navigating these requirements, ensuring a smooth passage of the due diligence process, and helping the offer go unconditional in the shortest possible time.
EcoForm is also available to present information sessions to your team to ensure you know the new and evolving requirements from councils around Australia.
