Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband MP has committed to reintroducing energy efficiency targets and, although the timelines remain vague, agents and landlords can expect that properties in the private rented sector (PRS) will be required to meet EPC C by 2030.
Propertymark has submitted a comprehensive response to the Welsh Government’s consultation on electric vehicle (EV) charging requirements and written to Baroness Taylor to highlight the need for balanced support across the UK. While welcoming efforts to reduce carbon emissions, we raised concerns about cost, feasibility, and the broader impacts on the housing market.
The UK Government has unveiled plans to reform the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) framework in England and Wales, with sweeping changes to the way Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are structured, used, and valued. Both commercial and residential agents, landlords, and property owners will need to renew their EPCs more often, and some exemptions, for example for heritage properties, may no longer apply.
Propertymark has long campaigned for incentives and realistic funding for landlords, tenants, and homeowners to upgrade their properties so we can see more energy-efficient homes, lower bills, and reduce emissions in the property sector. We are pleased to support National Energy Action’s Fuel Poverty Awareness Day on 27 November 2024, which highlights how the continuing energy crisis is stretching household, leaving many people struggling in cold, unsafe and unhealthy homes.
