I am joined in this episode by Anna Clare Harper. Anna's career has focused on strategic residential investments throughout regulatory and market changes which made me very eager to speak to her about the Governments recent scrapping of EPC targets and what that means for property investors.

We discuss;

How EPC targets align with the two main Policy trends which are cross party agreement on making the private rental sector more professional and the legally binding target of reaching net zero by 2050.

Why the target that was scrapped was impossible to achieve.

Why EPC calculations are not fit for purpose.

Why investors should continue to ensure their properties are as Energy Efficient as possible.

Why the UK housing stock leaks the most energy in Europe

Suggestions of some policies that could be put in place for a more sustainable housing market.
