Scrapping of EPC targets - Anna Clare Harper on The Rodcast

The big news from last week was the scrapping of proposed Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards of EPC C+ for properties to be legally rented out from 2025/8.

Rowbacks never look graceful, but in fact, this one makes a lot of sense.

Anna joined Rod Turner on his podcast to talk about the scrapping of planned MEES, with topics including:

• Why scrapping planned MEES is likely to be positive for the Private Rental Sector, its renters and the environment

• Why our clients, institutional investors, were and are self-regulating, and targeting better than the ex-proposed minimum EPC of C

• What other policies would work better than MEES, such as using Council Tax to incentivise upgrades.
