Flood Performance Certificates to Be Piloted for English Rentals
Landlords and renters across England will within a few weeks begin to see a clearer picture of a property's flood risk. New Flood Performance Certificates (FPCs) will be piloted to provide standardised information on flood risk and resilience.
The certificates are intended to reflect the steps taken to protect properties and where further action is needed, according to Landlord Today.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the pilot is one to watch: standardised flood risk information could become a routine part of property documentation and resident conversations in the months ahead. The report does not specify which areas will take part in the pilot, the full scope of the certificates, or an exact launch date beyond "within a few weeks."
