                             News Flash!!

The Government are proposing from April 2018 to adopt a minimum standard for all Private Lets.
This would be a Energy Performance level of band E or above.

EPC's (Energy Performance Certificates) are now a legal requirement for all rental properties.

Council and Housing Association properties must reach a band D69 or above.

Good news though. The EPC recommends energy efficient measures which can be applied to a property to boost its rating.

At Certificates4landlords we are always here to help landlords with new legislation.

Key measures you can implement on your property are:


  1. Cavity wall insulation 
  2. Upgrading loft insulation to 300mm
  3. Combi condensing boiler
  4. Heating controls. Boiler time clock programmer, Room thermostat, TVS's on Radiators
  5. Upgrading windows to UPVC frames with 16mm gap.
  6. Underfloor insulation
  7. lighting; change lightbulbs to LED low energy lighting
  8. Solar PV
  9. Draught proofing where applicable doors and windows
