Improving a property's EPC rating not only reduces its environmental impact but also has a number of financial benefits to landlords and home-buyers too.
With the deadline for having a minimum EPC rating of C or above for rented properties moving ever-closer, now is a great time to improve the energy efficiency of properties to begin accessing the benefits as soon as possible.
These benefits include:
- Preferential mortgage rates / incentives for 'green' properties (those with a high EPC rating)
- Tenants want to stay in energy efficient properties - especially with the recent rise in energy bills
- Increased property value due to energy-efficient homes being more sought after
- Help meet sustainability goals
Although some energy efficiency upgrades can be expensive, there is more access to funding for refurbishing properties than ever with many of our lenders offering specialist property refurbishment products.
If you are looking to purchase any properties which need energy-efficiency upgrades done or are looking to upgrade and refurbish your existing portfolio, get in contact by sending us a message, calling us on 0208 652 7666, or email us at [email protected] .
