It is now just over a week since John Healey announced savage tax hikes for landlords. Here our chief executive Ben Beadle explains what this will mean for the sector and what we are doing to challenge it.
The National Residential Landlords Association has raised concerns over the government’s latest consultation on energy efficiency requirements for private rented homes, which requires all landlords to have a minimum EPC C grade to legally let their properties by 2030. While supporting the drive for greener housing, the NRLA emphasizes that achieving these targets requires a clear and practical strategy.
Landlords will need to spend up to £15,000 per property on energy efficiency improvements to meet stringent new Government standards. By 2030 – just five years away – all landlords will need their properties to have a minimum EPC C grade to be legally let, with a consultation on the proposals launched today.
