Evitat co-founder Sonja Markovic on the e-logbook for renovations, why pre-1980s homes may rate two stars, and how green credentials will set home value.

Allys Todd of ValAi on why 78% of Australian homes predate energy ratings, the free three-minute home health check, and the 5-10% resale uplift.
