Landlords, EPCs and risk

Nice to see a good article on Landlord Law about EPCs. She has it right. By bringing this to the attention of landlords and tenants prior to lease in a very legal way it makes people care. Its the 99% of buildings that matter – Building is taking the correct stance.

Landlords want money. Tenants will use poor EPCs to leverage a lower price per sq. ft. – at least try anyway.

Lastly this year will see the bad building really come out. DECs and EPCs will, hopefully, sort the wheat from the chaff in building design. I think we’ll go through the next few years seeing what happened to doctors happen to us. THe engineers who only do high budget eco friendly stuff will do well in the league tables. Others less so.
