Navigating EPC Changes and Rental Property Standards for Landlords and Tenants - Ep. 12.
Welcome to The All Things Property Podcast!
In this episode, Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler dive into the changing landscape of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and new housing quality regulations.
Together, they explore how upcoming government reforms, like the move toward stricter EPC standards and the Decent Homes Standard, will impact landlords, tenants and the property market in.
The conversation tackles practical concerns such as the challenges of upgrading older Victorian terrace properties, the implications for tenant choice, and the financial realities facing landlords.
Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler offer their candid perspectives on whether these new standards are fair, how they’ll affect different types of renters and what landlords need to do to prepare for the new rules.
Whether you’re a landlord, investor, or property seller, this episode is packed with straight-talking advice, timely legislative updates and thoughtful discussion on the future of quality rental accommodation.
Tune in as The All Things Property Podcast cuts through corporate jargon to bring you honest, actionable guidance for your property journey.
