Landlords Urged to Prepare Early for EPC C 2030 Upgrades

A firm has warned landlords to act now rather than later to meet the EPC C 2030 deadline. With the Renters’ Rights Act now in force, landlords are being advised to start preparing upgrades without delay.

Glevum Windows has highlighted the importance for landlords to begin work early to ensure their properties comply with the upcoming EPC C requirements by 2030. The warning comes as regulatory changes, including the implementation of the Renters’ Rights Act, are now in effect.

According to buy-to-let lender The Mortgage Works, only one in three landlords (33%) has a clear understanding of the requirements related to the EPC C 2030 deadline. This suggests a significant proportion of landlords may not be fully prepared for the changes ahead.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, the advice to landlords to act early may impact property management timelines and upgrade schedules. Ensuring properties meet the EPC C standard by 2030 is likely to become an increasing focus in the coming years.
