Are you a Landlord or Lettings professional looking for a reliable, experienced and locally based Energy Assessor?
We’ve been supplying Landlords and Letting Agents in Northamptonshire & Milton Keynes since 2007. We work with many letting agents, owners of HMOs, individual private landlords and also professional landlords with large property portfolios so we totally understand the often complex lettings market and the requirements that landlords need to stay legally compliant.
A lot of people now realise that you must have a valid EPC for any property you rent out but many do not realise that this must reach a minimum of a band ‘E’ in order to meet the governments Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES). This was brought in to improve the standard of the UKs rental stock and to reduce tenant fuel poverty by making properties more energy efficient and thereby reducing household bills.
Consultation is also currently underway to raise this banding even higher in the coming years so now is a good time to be thinking about how your properties are likely to rate if the criteria becomes tighter and what improvements you may need to make in order to continue renting them out.
Please remember to check the EPC expiry date for any properties you own and contact us as early as possible ahead of the expiry date to make sure we can visit and produce the certificate before the current one expires.
