Landlords have been given an extra three years to meet the Government’s EPC rating targets.Now, the deadline for new lettings to have a minimum C rating is going to be 2028, and this date will apply to all lettings.
Previously, warnings that landlords will be forced out of the market, especially when faced with fines of up to £30,000 for non-complicance.

A maximum spend cap for landlords making improvements to properties is expected to be set at £10,000.
