Under new regulations proposed by the Labour Party, landlords in England may be required to install either heat pumps or solar panels to achieve a minimum EPC rating of 'C' by 2030. Failure to comply could result in fines up to £30,000.

The initiative aims to improve energy efficiency in rental properties as part of the net zero drive. Critics point to challenges such as the availability of skilled labor and restrictive funding schemes for property upgrades.
