Our experience of the accelerated route also included providing evidence that there was a documented route from a 2006 AST to the present landlords to show that the names identified were all valid. This has included papers for LPoA (deputies...

Just to re-join the thread. Having eventually, I believe, got to the point of a current list of 32 higher efficiency night storage heaters that are allowable under EPC assessment and then having had a curved ball thrown in by...

Thank you Badger for your input all of which is taken in the spirit intended, but and it is a big but, in a couple of days time all ASTs will require an EICR or the landlord is faced with...

Paul, RL & Michael - many thanks for your time and thoughts on this subject. It is hugely appreciated as I have great respect and understanding for those in the electrical industry having been a mechanical building services engineer for...

If the AST is silent and by implication the tenant of say a first floor converted flat makes use of it could it make a section 257 HMO into a mandatory HMO by having a third storey even if only...

Don't forget that there is also the ECO fund (Energy Company Obligation). This is not a gov grant but an obligation set by gov on the energy suppliers to form a fund to help pay for the application of energy...

A similar situation that I’m aware of in a different location has an AST starting prior to 1.10.08, being renewed a couple of times before 1.10.08 and eventually becoming periodic prior to 1.10.08. It is a contractual periodic so the...

Sorry – this is a long one! Many LLs with older properties presently on E to low D with actions already undertaken may still face a knife edge of existence. The high-cost exemption may be my route for uprating my...

I’ll always self insure when able to do so. Better the investment in my bank account for my decision making than someone else’s with a promise to provide a potentially less than 100% service to me whilst I hold the...

Thank you Michael - that closes the loop beautifully. Sorry to ask but would you know if that is common place generally as a CPS requirement? Knowing that there is PI & PL insurance in place is a much stronger...

Good afternoon All, Today I have spoken with both Elmhurst and Stroma. These are two of the EPC accrediting bodies empowered by government to ensure that EPC assessors deliver a consistent and valid lodgement of the assessment. Both confirmed that...
