I'm looking to purchase a new buy-to-let property this year. How critical is the current EPC rating for future compliance, and should I avoid anything below a 'C' to mitigate significant upgrade costs before 2025?
Quick Answer
EPC ratings are critical for buy-to-let, with proposed regulations requiring a 'C' by 2030. Buying below 'C' risks future costs and non-compliance penalties.
