Rejected
Scrapping proposals to require landlords to meet EPC C from 2025 in their private rented properties: As announced by the Prime Minister in September, we will not be taking forward proposals to force private landlords or homeowners to upgrade homes to EPC C. Landlords can still take advantage of the many government-backed schemes available to improve energy efficiency but at a time that suits them.
