Government says EPC reforms will be sensitive to individual properties
The government has claimed that its proposed EPC reforms will be "sensitive to the characteristics of each property". The statement came in response to a written parliamentary question, in which energy minister Martin McCluskey said the government has designed an "enhanced exemptions regime".
The government has proposed that all private rented properties will need to meet EPC C targets by 2030.
What this means for letting agents and inventory clerks
For those working in the private rented sector, the proposed 2030 EPC C requirement remains the headline policy, with exemptions forming part of the framework. Landlords are [awaiting further detail], and the full article on Property118 provides additional context on the parliamentary exchange.
Agents and clerks advising landlords on compliance planning should monitor developments, as the details of the exemptions regime and how property characteristics will be assessed have not been set out in the source report.
