🏡 EPC C BY 2030 – IT MAY SEEM A LONG WAY OFF…

But waiting could cost you.

The Government has confirmed plans for privately rented homes in England and Wales to meet the new EPC C equivalent standard by 1 October 2030, unless a valid exemption applies.

Four years might sound like plenty of time, but for landlords with properties currently sitting at a D or E, now is the time to start thinking ahead.

Why?

🔹 Improvements can be planned alongside other maintenance and refurbishment
🔹 Costs can potentially be spread over several years rather than faced all at once
🔹 You have time to investigate which improvements will actually benefit your property
🔹 Leaving it until the last minute could mean increased demand for assessors and contractors
🔹 If you own several properties, you can prioritise those likely to need the most work

The Government has also confirmed a £10,000 per-property cost cap under the future standard, with qualifying energy-efficiency expenditure from 1 October 2025 able to count towards it.

💡 2030 isn't tomorrow – but that doesn't mean you should wait until 2029 to start thinking about it.

At Turner Scott, we're already helping our landlords look ahead, monitor EPC ratings and plan for upcoming changes.

The earlier you start planning, the easier – and potentially cheaper – that transition could be.

🏡 Renters' Rights Update | Part 5 of 5

Whether you have one property or a growing portfolio, our experienced team can provide practical advice and professional management tailored to your needs.

🏡 Renters' Rights Update | Part 4 of 5

Are your properties ready for higher standards?

As the Renters' Rights Act progresses, there will be an even greater focus on ensuring rented homes are safe, well-maintained and fit for modern living.

While many of the details are still being finalised, landlords can start preparing now by reviewing their properties and planning ahead.

Consider:

✔️ Is your property free from damp and mould?
✔️ Are heating and ventilation systems working efficiently?
✔️ Is the kitchen and bathroom in good condition?
✔️ Are repairs dealt with promptly?
✔️ Could any improvements enhance comfort and energy efficiency?

Looking after your property isn't just about compliance—it's about protecting your investment, attracting quality tenants and creating homes people are proud to live in.

At Turner Scott, we work closely with our landlords to identify maintenance needs early, helping to avoid costly repairs and ensuring properties remain in excellent condition.

📅 Tomorrow in our final post (Part 5): We'll bring everything together and explain how working with a proactive letting agent can help you stay ahead of the upcoming changes.

🏡 Renters' Rights Update | Part 3 of 5

Are you prepared for the new Landlord Ombudsman?

One of the key changes proposed under the Renters' Rights Act is the introduction of a mandatory Landlord Ombudsman.

While the finer details are still being finalised, one thing is clear: good communication, accurate record keeping and well-documented processes will become increasingly important.

Now is the perfect time to ask yourself:

✔️ Are maintenance requests recorded and followed up?
✔️ Are conversations with tenants documented?
✔️ Do you have clear records of inspections and repairs?
✔️ Could you easily evidence the actions you've taken if a complaint was raised?

Having organised records and consistent procedures doesn't just help you stay compliant—it also helps build trust with your tenants and protects you should any disputes arise.

At Turner Scott, we already follow robust processes to ensure our landlords have the documentation and support they need, giving you confidence that your property is managed professionally.

📅 Tomorrow in Part 4: We'll look at what higher property standards could mean for landlords and how you can start preparing now.

🏡 Renters' Rights Update | Part 2 of 5

Are your property records ready?

With the proposed introduction of the Private Rented Sector Database, keeping accurate, organised property records is set to become more important than ever.

Now is the perfect time to review your documentation and make sure everything is up to date and easy to access, including:

✔️ Gas Safety Certificates
✔️ EICRs
✔️ EPCs
✔️ Deposit information
✔️ Right to Rent documentation
✔️ Tenancy agreements
✔️ Maintenance records

Being organised doesn't just help with future compliance—it can also save time, reduce stress and provide peace of mind should you ever need to access important information quickly.

At TurnerScott, we help our landlords stay organised and prepared, so when legislation changes, you're already one step ahead.

📅 Tomorrow in Part 3: We'll take a closer look at the proposed Landlord Ombudsman and what it could mean for landlords.
