Rob discusses the challenges landlords face regarding eco-upgrades and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, particularly in light of the Labour government's mandate for a minimum EPC rating of C by 2030. The episode highlights a recent article from The Telegraph, which claims that landlords may not recoup their investments in costly green upgrades. Rob focusses on the lack of correlation between improved EPC ratings and increased property values, making it a risky investment for landlords.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Landlords must achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C by 2030, which may require significant financial investment in eco-upgrades. Upgrading properties from a G rating to a C rating can cost around £27,000, while moving from a D rating to a C rating may cost approximately £10,000, depending on the property's current rating. There is no solid data to support that improving an EPC rating will increase the property's market value, leading to concerns among landlords about the return on their investment in eco-upgrades. An article from PropertyMark suggested five ways to boost a Victorian property's EPC rating, but some recommendations, such as turning down the thermostat and adding roller blinds, do not actually impact the EPC rating. Many landlords are facing financial strain due to the costs associated with meeting EPC requirements, which may lead some to sell their properties rather than invest in necessary upgrades. BEST MOMENTS "Landlords are not going to get their money back if they've done costly eco-upgrades." "There is no hard data to suggest that a higher EPC rating leads to a higher value of the property." "Turning down the thermostat isn't going to increase your EPC rating." "If you have a chimney that's open and you don't have a working fire, then draft proofing the chimney... will actually improve the EPC rating." "Landlords are between a rock and a hard place at the moment."

Today's episode is very pertinent to the current times. With a snap election just called, and disarray over the Renters Reform Bill (now that it has been shelved) there's a lot of uncertainty around. What if we get a labour government? What will their stance be on tenants and landlords? Will the Conservatives make another stab at a RRB if they win? My partner to discuss all of these issues is Suzanne Smith - a lawyer turned self-managing landlord with a portfolio of houses in Maidstone, Kent. She came to property investing fairly late when she “retired” as a corporate lawyer at the age of 51, after working for 25 years in senior in-house legal roles for multinational biotech companies. Suzanne started to share what she was learning as a landlord on her Instagram account, @indie_landlord, with practical reels that also drew on her experience and training as a lawyer. This led to her setting up her blog, The Independent Landlord, in August 2022, which provides reliable, free content on all aspects of being a landlord. It's grown to be one of the biggest blogs for landlords, with almost 20,000 click throughs on Google each month, and thousands of subscribers to her weekly newsletter. She co-hosts a new weekly podcast called Good Landlording with Richard Jackson, a landlord with a large portfolio who runs the property management software, Alphaletz. Suzanne is also an independent member of Propertymark's disciplinary tribunal.

UK regulator, OFCOM, has hiked the energy cap which means average UK household energy bills are set to rise by up to 80% from 1 October.  The Government has announced that all households in England, Scotland and Wales will receive £400 to help with rising fuel bills this autumn. The payment will appear as a credit on your energy bill. Landlords who include utility bills in houses in multiple occupation will still be eligible for these payments.  See also: 100,000 Join ‘Don't Pay' group  YouTube episode -  https://youtu.be/L2yOcmIFxDw The increased outgoings could also affect how much you will be able borrow to buy your home. Here are some changes to mortgage affordability calculations made by lenders that you need to be aware of if you are applying for a mortgage home loan in the UK. Recent changes means lenders will add another layer to mortgage affordability checks used to calculate how much they can lend to borrowers. In future, they will not just look at your income but will also take into account at all of your outgoings, which means you may not be able to borrow as much as you need.  Lenders are expected to amend the rules for benefit claimants to allow them to have their benefit payments assessed as part of the mortgage application.   House sales peak in July HMRC figures show but buyers are cautious Following the recent Halifax report, official figures show that more homes were sold in the UK in July than in any other month this year, but agents report that buyers are showing more caution. Due to cost-of-living pressures and lower mortgage advances, buyers are increasingly negotiating for a lower price. HM Revenue and Customs data showed that 110,970 properties were sold in the UK during the month - the highest since September. Consistent monthly sales of around 100,000 this year show that demand remains comparatively strong, but there are signs that the squeeze on budgets caused by rising prices and bills were having an effect. Sales in July were still 33% higher than the same month last year and 7.2% higher than June, HMRC said. Nathan Emerson, chief executive of the estate agents' trade body Propertymark, told the BBC: "These figures show the housing market remains stable with transactions up month-on-month, year-on-year and well above pre-pandemic levels. "The cost of living is still rising and we are seeing evidence of buyers negotiating harder, bringing price increases down. But our data from member agents shows the demand remains strong and that there with not enough stock to go round with the number of new potential buyers seven times higher than new homes coming to the market." US President Joe Biden is cancelling billions of dollars of federal student loans.  Mr Biden has just announced he will cancel up to $10,000 (£8,500) in federal student loans for millions of Americans who earn less than $125,000 each year.

At the end of your contract, what happens next will depend on what you want - and what your landlord wants. It can feel like a scary time, but it's important to remember you have options. You could renew your contract, which could involve a rent increase. Or, your tenancy may become periodic (no fixed end date). While this can provide you with flexibility, it works both ways, and the landlord could end this without much notice. Of course, you could always move out also.   Maxine Fothergill, President of ARLA Propertymark joins our founder Phil Spencer again to share helpful advice and expertise. Ending a tenancy can be a stressful time, particularly if your landlord is the one who doesn't want it to continue.   Listen in to find out: What happens at the end of a fixed term tenancy Cleaning at the end of your tenancy What condition you should leave the property in Getting your deposit back Your options (e.g. rolling contract, renewing)    Thank you for listening to the Move iQ podcast!
