The service helps landlords understand their current EPC rating, identify the work required to reach the target rating, build a personalised retrofit plan, explore potential grants, and connect with qualified installers to complete the work.
A final EPC assessment is then carried out to confirm the success of the upgrades.
Around 50% of all homes in the private rented sector have an EPC rating below C, according to the English Housing Survey.
Under the government’s Warm Homes Plan, all private rented properties must achieve a minimum EPC rating of C by 1 October 2030. A range of financing options will be available to landlords to help them carry out necessary improvements.
Furthermore, EPC reforms are planned for later this year that will place greater emphasis on fabric performance, heating efficiency and low-carbon technologies.
