EPC Changes for Rental Properties

27th January, 2021

Jacobs Allen - Landlord EPC Changes Ahead

We are writing to make clients with an interest in Rental Properties, aware that there are plans to change the energy performance (EPC) minimum ratings of privately rented homes in England & Wales from Band E, to EPC Band C.

The current proposal is that this would apply for all new tenancies from 2025, and all existing tenancies from 2028.

Hopefully, being aware of this change at this stage will give you sufficient time to prepare for it, or alternatively to sell on any low EPC rated rental properties you currently let out. It should also help guide your decisions when purchasing a new property to rent out.

Something to shout about

You are obviously very knowledgeable and able to relate your expertise in an easy to understand way. We will definitely use Jacobs Allen Chartered Accountants again and believe that it was a relatively small amount of money, well spent to have this financial and tax review.

I chose to come to Jacobs Allen for advice as I felt you as Chartered Accountants were clearly knowledgeable yet very approachable, friendly and welcoming. To have all of my queries dealt with so professionally in a relaxed manner allayed any concerns I had about my tax affairs, past present and future. Your advice giving me a clear plan of the actions I have to take and your offer of assistance to put it into practice helped enormously in focussing my attention on building my business.

Outstanding service and knowledge. Very highly recommended. We met with Keith Senior for advice relating to starting a new business in Bury. Keith met with us for close to an hour at no charge and provided both a referral and excellent advice. Everybody we met has been a pleasure to deal with and we feel much more confident moving forward with our plans. You will be in good hands with this firm.
