A HQM-certified home is synonymous with peace of mind and value. Our rigorous assessment process ensures that your home meets high standards in terms of running costs, health and wellbeing, and environmental footprint. This translates into tangible benefits such as lower energy bills, a healthier living environment, and a home that actively contributes to a sustainable future. For investors and owners of build-to-rent assets, HQM certification is a powerful tool for attracting discerning tenants.

The mark of HQM quality can command higher rental premiums and ensure a steady stream of tenants who value a sustainable and healthy living space. Moreover, HQM-certified homes are designed with efficiency in mind, which means lower maintenance and running costs over time. This is a win-win for both property owners and investors, as it not only enhances the asset’s value but also contributes to long-term sustainability goals and tenant satisfaction.

Benefits for Developers

For developers, HQM is a mark of distinction. It demonstrates your commitment to quality and sustainability, setting your properties apart in a competitive market.

An HQM certification is a tangible demonstration of these principles, making your properties more attractive to a growing market of conscious investors.

Benefits for Investors

Investors are increasingly recognising the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in their decision-making process.

HQM stands as a vital tool for investors, aligning perfectly with their sustainability objectives. Through its comprehensive assessment of quality, sustainability, and performance of homes, HQM helps investors make informed decisions that not only contribute to environmental stewardship but also positively impact social well-being.

Moreover, HQM’s robust governance standards ensure transparency and ethical practices, which are essential for investors’ sustainability reporting. By opting for properties with the Home Quality Mark, investors can effectively demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, which in turn can be instrumental in attracting funding for projects.
