NRLA launches retrofit course, helping landlords save money
The NRLA has added a new course to its offering this summer, with A Landlord's Guide to Retrofitting launching in July.
The course will offer practical advice for landlords on how to lower fuel bills, and tackle damp and mould as well as offering an in-depth look at systems for insulation, heating, ventilation, and renewables.
Last year Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he was abandoning plans to introduce a minimum EPC rating of C in all rental properties by 2028 – however this is unlikely to be the last we see of proposals, with a replacement scheme expected to be announced.
For the Opposition Ed Miliband, the shadow secretary for climate change, has already said he is in favour of introducing the minimum C rating.
The course has been devised by Dr Sue Roberts, a highly experienced Domestic Energy Assessor and Green Deal Advisor, who will explain how landlords can retrofit to meet existing – or new - energy performance requirements, including the different options for heating water.
Delivered virtually, by an NRLA trainer in real time, the first eClassroom course will be held on Wednesday 10 July.
The majority of NRLA courses are discounted for NRLA members, and this course costs £154 for members and £193 for non-members. You can book your place here.
