UNDERSTANDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES AND PLANNING TO MEET FUTURE MEES REQUIREMENTS COURSE FOR PRIVATE LANDLORDS & LETTING AGENTS

Possibly going live from Q4 of 2026, now is a crucial time for landlords and letting agents to start planning how they can comply with these new regulations for the minimum capital expenditure.

In recognition of these considerable challenges, Sue Bryer Landlord Training present a virtual (webinar based) fully interactive 1 day training event on Friday 16th May 2025

At the end of the course, support materials will be supplied to assist with EPC Management, complience with upcoming revised MEES Legislation, planning cost effective retrofit Energy Efficiency improvements and claiming all appropriate Energy Grant Funding available.

Testimonial

"Peter totally lifted the lid re the process of undertaking a property survey to produce an EPC and patiently explained the various ways you could optimise your rating using low cost measures. He has enabled me to demand a lot more from my EPC Assessor during their work on my my properties and I just wish he had the time to do mine himself."
