🚀 Easy EPC Upgrades for Landlords in 2025: The Smart Path to Compliance Did you know that 95% of landlords are unaware of their property’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) score? With stricter regulations on the horizon—requiring all rental properties to achieve at least a C rating by 2030—it’s crucial to get ahead of the curve. Here’s the good news: Small, targeted upgrades can make a big difference. 🌱 🔑 How EPC Ratings Work EPC ratings aren’t just letter grades (A-G)—they’re based on numerical points. For instance, moving from a D to a C might only require a single point, meaning one simple upgrade could tip the scales. 🛠️ Quick Wins for EPC Points • Hot water cylinder insulation: +1.7 points • Low-energy lighting: +1.1 points • Hot water cylinder thermostat: +2.4 points 💡 Biggest Impact Upgrades • Condensing gas boiler: +23 points (far better than BIOMASS boilers for EPC scores) • Room in roof insulation: +9.91 points • Solar panels: +9.91 points 📊 Why It Matters As Craig Cooper, COO of epIMS, explains: “Understanding the EPC points system is key. Without this knowledge, landlords could overspend on eco-friendly upgrades that don’t actually boost their EPC score. That’s why epIMS was created—to help landlords pinpoint the most effective upgrades for their properties.” 🔍 Find out your EPC score and identify the best upgrades today—your future tenants (and your wallet) will thank you. #EPCUpgrades #LandlordTips #PropertyManagement #Sustainability

🏠 Reeves’ Budget Hits London’s High-End Property Market 🏠 Prime central London (PCL) property values dropped 0.8% in Q4 2024, with notable declines in Knightsbridge (-2.0%), South Kensington (-1.6%), and Belgravia (-1.5%), according to Savills. These areas, heavily influenced by international buyers and wealth concentration, are feeling the impact of tax changes from Reeves’ Budget. Lucian Cook of Savills notes that while needs-based buyers are sustaining some market activity, central London remains highly price sensitive due to the winding down of the ‘non-doms’ tax regime and the SDLT surcharge on second homes. 🔮 2025 Outlook: • Prime Central London: Values forecast to decline by -4.0% but grow +9.6% over five years. • Outer Prime London: Expected to remain flat in 2025, with stronger growth (+14.7%) over five years as demand ripples outward. As buyers and sellers adjust to a changing fiscal landscape, challenges are likely to persist in the luxury property market next year. #PrimeProperty #LondonHousing #PropertyInvestment #PCLMarket #HousingMarketTrends #Savills #UKProperty
