National Landlords Association (NLA) has teamed up with the National Insulation Association (NIA) to provide landlords with an easy to use online facility to find local insulation installers to help meet new energy efficiency standards.
The 2015 Energy Efficiency Regulations, passed in March 2015, set out minimum energy efficiency standards for England and Wales. These regulations will make it unlawful for landlords to grant a new lease for properties that have an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating below E, from 1 April 2018, unless the property is registered as an exemption.
In reality, careful planning and preparation are required to mitigate the potential impact of the new regulation, meaning that it is important that buy-to-let landlords with below E rated properties take action now if they wish to avoid legal headaches in the not too distant future.
