TMA has partnered with eco-Landlord ahead of EPC reforms that will require extensive investments and retrofits across the PRS.
This will allow TMA’s members to use the free-to-use eco-Landlord service that helps landlords understand, plan and deliver EPC improvements.
eco-Landlord helps landlords understand their current EPC, identify the work required to reach the target rating, build a personalised retrofit plan, explore potential grants, and connect with qualified installers to complete the work.
A final EPC assessment is then carried out to confirm the success of the upgrades.
The agreement has been struck following recent confirmation from the government that all PRS properties must achieve a minimum EPC rating of C by October 2030.
According to government statistics, based on 2023/24 data nearly half of all dwellings in England (46%) are eligible for EPC improvements to C or higher.
The government put the mean cost of such work per property as £7,320.
“Mortgage brokers play a critical role in helping landlords adapt to changing regulations,” said Angus Stewart, CEO at eco-Landlord.
“By partnering with TMA, we’re making it easier for brokers to support their landlord clients with EPC improvements, while strengthening their position as trusted advisers.”
Robert McCoy, senior product and business manager at TMA, added: “EPC regulation is a growing concern for landlords and brokers alike.
“Partnering with eco-Landlord allows our members to offer practical, forward-looking support to landlord clients, helping them plan and deliver upgrades while protecting long-term property value and rental viability.”
