From 1st April 2018, it became law that a property could not be newly let or a tenancy renewed unless the energy rating on the EPC was ‘E’ or above. With that extending to all existing tenancies from April 2020, if your rented property is currently rated ‘F’ or ‘G’, it’s essential you have works undertaken this year to bring the property up to standard – and bear in mind the minimum rating is likely to rise to ‘D’ in 2022.
