What does scrapping EPC targets mean for residential? 

Rod Turner x Anna Clare Harper, CEO of GreenResi.

In Anna's words:

In this episode I share my thoughts on the scrapping of proposed Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards of EPC C+ for properties to be legally rented out. 

The tables were turned and I joined Rod Turner on his Property Business Investment ‘Rodcast’ in my capacity as CEO of GreenResi, which helps residential investors with portfolios worth £100m+ to make efficient, reliable buy, sell and upgrade decisions at scale, so that they can future proof and grow portfolios in the context of the urgent need to retrofit homes.

We covered topics including 

• Why scrapping planned MEES is likely to be positive for the Private Rental Sector, its renters and the environment 
• Why our clients, institutional investors, were and are self-regulating, and targeting better than the ex-proposed minimum EPC of C
• What other policies would work better than MEES, such as using Council Tax to incentivise upgrades.
