Propertymark is querying why there’s no help for the private rental sector to meet energy efficiency targets expressed in a new review led by a former Tory cabinet minister.
Ex-energy minister Chris Skidmore has recommended delivering more energy efficiency homes in his latest Net Zero Review, which was commissioned by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
Of critical importance for the rental sector in particular, Skidmore recommends that no new homes are built with a gas boiler from 2025 and all homes that are sold should have an EPC of C or above by 2033.
