For landlords in Scotland the proposal to increase the minimum rating to band C is not far away
Calling all landlords in Scotland! The Scottish government’s consultation in 2020 proposed properties would need to reach a minimum of Band C for new tenancies by 2025 and then Band C for all private rented tenancies by 2028. Government are yet to announce the outcome of the consultation, however it looks like private landlords Scotland will be obligated by law to upgrade their properties regardless of the cost to them.
This can be achieved by installing insulation, new electric heating systems, solar panels and air source heat pumps.Eenergy efficiency is key to improving the band rating on your property.
