A low EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating – typically E, F, or G – indicates poor energy efficiency in your property. While it’s not illegal to have a low rating, it can lead to significant implications, especially for landlords and property owners in London and across the UK.
🔍 What a Low EPC Rating Means:
Higher Energy Bills: Poor insulation, outdated heating systems, and inefficient lighting increase your monthly costs.
Reduced Property Value: Buyers and tenants often prefer energy-efficient homes due to cost savings and sustainability.
Legal Restrictions for Landlords: As of April 2020, it’s unlawful to rent out a property with an EPC rating below E in England and Wales (unless exempt under MEES).
💡 What You Can Do:
Schedule an Assessment: Use Urgent EPC to get your current rating quickly.
Upgrade: Install insulation, double glazing, or an efficient boiler.
Reassess: After making improvements, order a new EPC to reflect the updated efficiency.
