Since April 2018 it has been mandatory that new Tenancy Agreements and renewals have an Energy Performance rating (EPC) of Band E or above.
As from April 2020 the regulations will be extended to also cover existing tenancies. This means that, under the new legislation, property with an Energy Performance rating (EPC) of Band F or G will be classed as unrentable from that date on.
We recommend that all Landlords existing and new visit the Government web site shown below for further guidance.
