A webinar is being staged to advise landlords on government proposals that from 2025 all newly rented residential properties will be required to have an EPC rating of C or above.
Despite this deadline being three years away, some property experts are advising landlords to act now due to the lack of skilled labour in the market, the increasing cost of materials and the increasing cost of borrowing. Some lenders are incentivising landlords to make these refurbishments now by discounting borrowing rates for properties rated EPC C or above.
Newable Finance brokerage is hosting an EPC panel discussion, which will take place on Wednesday September 28 at 11am.
Brian Love, head of regional broking at Newable Finance, will be hosting the one-hour panel, live on Zoom. Other panellists include Daniel Standing, regional development manager at Shawbrook Bank; lawyer Amanda Early, a senior associate at Birketts LLP; Alec Chohan, senior finance broker at Newable Finance; the chief operating officer of CEC Energy Aaron Lewis’ and RICS member Richard Kirby, director of Anderson Wilde & Harris.
Expect to discuss what the new legislation is and how it affects landlords, the impact on property sales for landlords, what steps landlords can take to refurbish their homes and what improvements are going to make the most impact. Finally, the panel will discuss why landlords should act now, and not wait until 2024.
The one-hour virtual panel is free to attend; you can register here.
