I guess that by itself that would be helpful but the truth is that most people wouldn't really pay any attention to it or certainly not much attention compared to price, location, what the place looks like etc.
There is definitely room for a lot of improvement in the UK housing stock but every possibility is poisoned by the large numbers of people it would affect. Not all Landlords are fat cats and not all tenants are poor, which is why things move so slowly.
Even in new-builds, the quality of insulation work can be somewhere between shocking and non-existent. What do you do? You need umpteen million new houses and don't have enough skilled tradespeople to be able to fire those that do a crappy job.
I think a much bigger win would be further back where we need to align incentives and opportunities for school leavers to the industries that are short of workers. It seems daft to me that people can choose "Health and Beauty" courses when we already have a million of those and a massive shortage of engineering trades.
