The consultation previously mentioned is gathering steam. A few changes in that the initial £10k you'd need to invest in properties that can't make band C has risen to £15k. The date has been brought forward to 2028 for new tenancies and still 2030 for existing tenancies. New EPC calculations and software are coming out in 2026 so an existing band C may not qualify as band C after the new calculations, nobody knows the new calculations yet. Existing EPC providers will need new training and be monitored more closely. If you have rental property and they're band C now I'd suggest renewing it soon even if it has a few years left of the 10 year period.
I’m broadly in favour of energy efficiency but can’t help think that the focus should be on more houses while we have such a shortage. Worrying about loft insulation while people are sleeping in shop doorways seems mad.
