With 20% of housing stock represented by the PRS, the government consider these plans to be \u201c<em>a vital part of our wider strategy to decarbonise buildings cost-effectively, in light of the significant challenges posed by climate change\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultation &#8211; now live and running until 30th December 2020 &#8211; hopes to get feedback from landlords, tenants, local authorities and others affected by the proposed changes, with specific aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Deliver significant emission reductions<\/li><li>Decrease bills for low income and vulnerable tenants<\/li><li>Increase the quality, value and desirability of landlords\u2019 assets<\/li><li>Reduce energy bills for tenants and ensure warmer homes<\/li><li>&nbsp;Support investment in high-quality jobs and skills in the domestic retrofit supply chain across England and Wales<\/li><li>Provide greater energy security through lower energy demand on the grid and reduced fuel imports<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta\">Read the full summary here:&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/consultations\/improving-the-energy-performance-of-privately-rented-homes\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GOV.UK Improving the energy performance of privately rented homes in England and Wales<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raising the energy performance standard to Band C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the core policies proposed by the government is to increase the minimum EPC rating to Band C. Currently, all private rented properties must have an EPC rating of \u2018E\u2019 or above to be legally let.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial idea is to introduce the new measures on a phased basis: applying to \u2018new tenancies\u2019 by 2025 and all other tenancies by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These far-off dates &#8211; along with the phased process &#8211; hopes to \u201climit disruption to landlords and tenants\u201d by allowing plenty of time for planning and saving and encouraging a \u201cwhole house\u201d approach to improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increasing the maximum investment cap to \u00a310,000&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultation also proposes that the current landlord spend requirement for energy efficiency improvements be increased. At the moment, the spend is capped at <strong>\u00a33,500<\/strong> &#8211; but property improvements to meet Band C will require greater investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government have calculated that on average, landlords will spend <strong>\u00a34,700<\/strong> per property to reach an EPC rating of C if a maximum cap of <strong>\u00a310,000<\/strong> is set. This cost cap is simply a&nbsp;<em>proposed<\/em>&nbsp;figure, but the consultation summary states that it is \u201c<em>the optimal level at which the majority of PRS properties would be improved to EPC Band C whilst trying to limit expense for landlords<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landlords are also encouraged to make use of the Green Homes Grant offering vouchers to cover two-thirds of energy improvements costs up to \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lettingaproperty.com\/landlord\/blog\/green-homes-grant-for-landlords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Will the Chancellor&#8217;s Green Plan Affect Landlords?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;A \u2018fabric first\u2019 approach to energy performance improvements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The government will be encouraging landlords and property owners to take a \u201cfabric first\u201d approach to installing energy improvement measures. This involves prioritising fabric efficiency &#8211; such as insulation &#8211; to reduce energy demand, lower bill costs and reduce carbon emissions for that property. To align with this, improvements laid out in EPCs will be listed in the following order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Insulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Heating and hot water<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Upgrades to windows and doors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) Electricity generation measures<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have your say<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The government are collecting responses regarding this consultation until 30th December 2020.
