UK PRS Landlords Still Worried About EPC Compliance<\/p><\/div>More than 17% (1 in 6) of UK PRS landlords reckon that some or all of the properties in their rental portfolio\u2019s fall into the lowest Energy Performance Certificate categories, with an F or G rating, meaning that they could end up being banned from the rental market.<\/p>\n

From 2018 under the Government\u2019s Green Deal proposals, properties with F and G EPC ratings will not be allowed to be let.<\/p>\n

The latest poll of 1,500 landlords by the Association of Residential Letting Agents, (ARLA) also discovered that over 35% of landlords do not even know the energy rating of their properties with regard to EPCs.<\/p>\n

ARLA have called for the Government to help landlords to achieve minimum energy efficiency standards, asking for the Landlords Energy Savings Allowance to be extended.<\/p>\n

The call has been echoed by Alan Ward, Chairman of the Residential Landlords Association (RLA), who called for the annual energy savings tax allowance to be raised from \u00a31,500 to \u00a314,000.<\/p>\n

The allowance is due to be scrapped altogether in April 2015<\/p>\n

ARLA Operations Manager Ian Potter, said: \u201cThe clock is ticking for the private rented sector to improve its environmental performance but the investment just isn\u2019t there to ensure that this change takes place in the Government\u2019s timeframe. ARLA have campaigned for the Government to incentivise, through tax relief, the improvement of rental properties. Otherwise it is going to be exceedingly difficult for the majority of landlords to find the funds to improve stock.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Green Deal will offer landlords upfront access to funds, it is tenants, as users of the properties, who will have to repay the loan.<\/p>\n

Landlords who comprehensively tenant reference<\/a> applicants can ensure regular income with Rent Guarantee Insurance<\/a>, easing the financial burden and worry for tenants as loans are repaid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
