The C Guarantee
The work starts now. From 2030, landlords in the UK are to ensure that their rental properties meet a minimum EPC rating of C before they can be legally rented out. If a landlord is looking to achieve an EPC rating of C or above, it means they would need to upgrade the property to improve its energy efficiency.
HOW WE DO IT?
Qwala help landlords improve a property’s EPC rating by managing the whole process. From survey, reporting, installation to lodging a new, compliant EPC to meet your legal obligations. All is achieved through ‘The C Guarantee’.
We can make a variety of upgrades, such as:
- Insulating the property (e.g. loft insulation, internal wall, cavity wall insulation).
- Upgrading windows to double or triple glazing.
- Installing energy-efficient heating systems (e.g. modern boilers or renewable heat pumps).
- Improving lighting with energy-saving LEDs.
- Adding other renewable energy sources like solar panels.
If you're a landlord renting a property to tenants, it's important to stay informed about any changes in EPC laws to avoid potential fines or complications.
WHAT FUNDING IS AVAILABLE?
Qwala deliver government backed schemes, including Energy Company Obligation (ECO) 4, Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) and the Warm Homes Plan. As a critical advisor and partner, we will always check whether you or your tenant qualifies for a grant towards the cost of the improvements.
