Heat Map on the Percentage of Privately Rented Home
And which are EPC D and Below
In England and Wales, the current minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating requirement for private rental properties is an E. The government has suggested that this could be raised to a C by 2028 although no final decision has been made.
This map shows Plymouth and highlights the percentage of private rental homes with an EPC rating of D or below. The darker areas represent parts of the city with a higher proportion of less efficient homes. The lighter areas show where the percentage is lower.
While nothing is confirmed yet these maps give an idea of where landlords in Plymouth may face the biggest challenges and opportunities if the rules change. If you have any questions about what this might mean for you, please do contact our office by sending an email to info@smeatonhomes.co.uk.
