Current legislation means that if a property doesn't have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘E’ or above, then it cannot legally be let. With soaring energy prices a real problem for all of us, an energy efficient home is now on a higher proportion of prospective tenants' wish lists. Not only are we all becoming (rightfully) more environmentally aware when it comes to our properties, but for tenants, a higher EPC rating means lower bills, a decrease in the risk of mould and a warmer place to live.
