In this episode of This Property Life, Sarah Blaney and Nick Claydon break down the ongoing discussions around EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) changes in England and Wales. With rising concerns about the cost of property upgrades and the future of rentability, the hosts offer practical advice for landlords and investors, aiming to reduce panic and provide clarity.

What You'll Learn:

• EPC ratings for rentals will rise to a C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for all tenancies
• Should landlords with a D or below rating act now to avoid future compliance issues
• The £15,000 cap on EPC upgrades may not be enough in high-cost areas
• How the political changes could delay or alter the implementation of EPC rules
• Grandfather rights may provide enough time for landlords to adjust to the new standards
• How will the housing supply shortage impact the availability of rental properties
