Yeah, lets just rubbish a whole scheme from one incidence, it's not like all Landlords aren't penny pinching fools who pay a pittance on their rental properties repairs and obligations, are too stupid to understand basic regulations or completely ignore them for their own ill gotten gains and greed. See how that broad brush works.

It would seem they're not correct though, the publication yesterday contradicts what you're saying.

Also 1.1.4.5 Voluntary EPCs obtained for properties which are not legally required to have one 23. In situations where an owner or occupier of a building which is not legally required to have an EPC has obtained one voluntarily (i.e. a voluntary EPC for a property which has not been sold, let or modified within the past ten years), the landlord will not be required to comply with the minimum standard Regulations. A voluntary EPC may have been commissioned by a landlord who believed in error that one was required for their property, or it may be one commissioned by a property owner or occupant who simply wanted

Also yesterday 24. A voluntary EPC may be registered on the official EPC database, but there is no requirement to do so. Where a voluntary EPC has been registered on the database it will supersede any earlier EPC that may have existed for the property, but official registration of a voluntary EPC will not, in itself, require the landlord to comply with the minimum standard.

Published Yesterday. Listed Buildings and EPC Compliance There is a common misunderstanding regarding listed buildings and whether they are exempt from the requirement to obtain an EPC. Listed properties, and buildings within a conservation area, will not necessarily be exempt from the requirement to have a valid EPC and it will be up to the owner of a listed building to understand whether or not their property is required to have an EPC. Where a listed privately rented domestic property, or a property within a conservation area, is required to have an EPC, that property will be within scope of the minimum energy efficiency standards.

"Listed buildings, of any status, do NOT require an EPC, this is not to say that they can’t have one the legislation, which change 4 years ago simply states the the requirement for a listed building to have an EPC for sales and lettings no longer exists." Are you sure about that????? If however a listed building does indeed have an EPC then it is duly covered by the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and as such will, or could fall foul of the regulations. Are you sure about that?????
