Scottish Energy Consultation 2018
Scottish Government consultation on minimum energy standards, proposing minimum C Rating for both PRS and owner-occupier sectors, and minimum B Rating for those classified as fuel poor. Cost efficiency is being deemed as payback over a lifetime, however that may be interpreted!
Closing date for comments is 27 Jul 2018.

Many thanks

Not with standing the driving force behind this is the nonsense climate change. I don’t see why some landlords mind the energy effiency targets onerous my properties that were band E have been band c since way back in 2012 and some think band d by mid 2020 is a major issue. Personally I find the issue of tenants rights ( that can and often are abused) a far bigger issue.

Social sector leasing has similar targets, the big difference is that the cost of improvement is ultimately borne by tax payers.
