Does your rental property hit the energy performance mark?

In this article we look at the forthcoming changes to EPC's and what this means to Landlords and Mortgage Lenders.

  • Government targets state that by the end of 2025 new lets will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of band C or above.
  • Just over half (51%) of all rental properties let out over the last 12 months had an EPC of band C or above, virtually unchanged on the previous 12 months.
  • Mortgage lenders have new requirements too. They must ensure that the average performance of their domestic portfolios is at least EPC band C, by 31 Dec 2030.
  • Landlords will not be expected to pay more than £3,500 +VAT on energy efficiency improvements.
