Alex Field (Energywise) and Jackie Oliver (THI)
DEAs Alex Field of Precision Energy Assessors (AKA Energywise) and Jackie Oliver of Jackie Oliver & Co Estate Agents (AKA THI) are two widely-known women in the DEA community - they know their minds and don't mind speaking them, freely.
Which is just as well because there has been much to speak about this week, with less than a month to go before the final staged roll-out of Home Information Packs engulf one and two bedroom homes in England and Wales.
Listen: DEA Roundtable - Full-On HIPs
Many thanks to both Alex and Jackie.
