Dailymail Money: Landlords Face Tough Choices Amid Government Energy Upgrade Plans
Government Mandates Energy Upgrades
The UK Government has announced that rented properties in England must achieve an Energy Performance Certificate rating of 'C' by 2030. This regulation is prompting many landlords to reconsider their investments as compliance could be financially burdensome.
Financial Impact on Landlords
