Tenants in Low EPC Homes Face Highest Energy Bill Increases
Rightmove analysis shows that tenants in the least energy-efficient homes could see their annual energy bills rise by as much as £591. This follows a 13% increase in the energy price cap this week.
The portal’s monthly energy bills tracker highlights a widening gap in costs between efficient and inefficient homes. Those living in properties with the lowest EPC ratings are facing significantly higher energy costs compared to tenants in more efficient homes.
This information is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring property standards and tenant affordability.
