Improving energy efficiency remains high on the government’s agenda.
Currently, rented properties must have an Energy Performance Certificate with a rating of E or above.
But the government is planning to intoduce new rules requireing all new tenancies to have a rating of C by 2025, with existing tenancies following suit by 2028.
The new legislation is also set to increase the capped amount landlords will be required to invest to achieve improved ratings, from £3,500 to £10,000.
Swathes of privately rented homes have an EPC rating below C, meaning landlords will need to carry out upgrades over the coming years.
