Landlords Require an EPC of C or above by 2025, our experts findings will shock you

I added some 12mm fibre insulation to my rented out house-called Ultratherm. It was done by a licensed builder and cost me about £2,500 to do the whole front wall of the house. I was happy, the tenant is happy. However, the EPC regs demand 50mm insulation, preferably 60mm to get the brownie points. Note the plaster board/skim will add another 12mm. Doing front & back of a room could take 6 inches off the room size, crazy!! Basically, I have wasted £2,500 trying to do right for my tenants, didn't realise how pedantic this EPC thing is.

They don’t want people making money, if they do they will squeeze them till the pips squeak 😮
