What is different when you are a landlord?
Rented homes in England and Wales must meet a minimum EPC rating to be let, and the government has confirmed it will rise to band C, with a deadline of October 2030. Loft insulation alone rarely moves a whole band, but it is one of the first measures an assessor looks for. More about loft insulation for a rented home.
