Rented Housing: Insulation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the number of rural properties that will struggle to reach the minimum EPC C rating by the 2030 deadline for all rental properties.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Government recognises there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to tackling the UK’s diverse building stock. We have set out a range of provisions to ensure the cost and compliance burden is fair and proportionate for landlords. This includes a maximum spend requirement of £10,000 per property, and a range of exemptions for circumstances where the installation of measures is not feasible or appropriate.
