With new Energy Performance Certificate targets for rental properties on the horizon, PropTech supplier Reapit is hosting a new webinar to help agents and landlords understand the full implications of the new EPC C target and manage the transition successfully.

Reapit’s latest industry report reveals that over 51% of private rental sector properties currently fall short of the EPC C rating, which will become mandatory in the sector by 2030. This represents a potential £24 billion cost to landlords for necessary upgrades. 

If landlords choose to sell rather than retrofit, there could be significant repercussions for rental prices and housing availability.

To help navigate these changes, Reapit is hosting an industry webinar on Friday September 6 at 11 am. This session will explore the costs landlords will face to meet the EPC C requirements, the potential consequences if they decide to sell instead of upgrade, and the broader impact on agents and tenants. The webinar is free to attend, and agents can register now.

Topics covered will include the estimated costs of retrofitting PRS properties to an EPC C; regional breakdowns of properties affected by the new targets; the potential impact on rental prices and housing availability; and how agents can influence future policy development.

“Reapit’s latest report on EPC reforms highlights the challenges and opportunities that agents and landlords will face in the coming years” says a Reapit spokesperson. “This webinar aims to provide the clarity agents need to navigate this transition. Those who understand the implications of the new EPC targets will be best positioned to turn the potential challenges into opportunities.”
