I'm considering purchasing a buy-to-let property with an EPC rating of D. Given the recent changes, is this still a reasonable investment, or should I only focus on properties with C or higher for future-proofing against potential new legislation?
Quick Answer
An EPC D property can be a reasonable buy-to-let, provided you factor in potential upgrade costs to C by 2030, which is the proposed new minimum for new tenancies.
