Landlords: AVOID The £15k EPC Mistake Do THIS Instead

The government just closed its consultation on raising the minimum energy standard for rental properties to EPC Band C by 2028-30 — and landlords are panicking about costs between £6,000-£15,000 per property. But here's what most people are getting wrong: the final regulations aren't published yet, the timeline is far from certain, and how you budget right now could save you thousands. In this video, we break down exactly what's changing, how much your upgrades actually cost, which improvements you should make now versus which ones to think about later, how the exemptions and appeals process actually works, and the strategic timeline that keeps you ahead rather than scrambling. If you let out property in England or Wales, you need to understand this—not because you should panic, but because timing matters.
