www.westscotplumbers.co.ukWith rental demand likely to prove strong for the foreseeable future in the UK landlords may wish to consider investing in a more efficient boiler in order to attract tenants with the promise of lower bills.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, landlords are now legally obliged to show new tenants the Energy Performance Certificate score of the property they are planning to let.
As a result, the trust notes it is worth looking at ways of reducing the energy bills attached with rental properties.
The group suggests this will attract tenants by showing them the landlord is committed to reducing any harmful impact on the environment, along with utility bills.
One way of achieving this could be through installing a new condensing boiler, which can cut annual heating bills by as much as a third.
Under the government's boiler scrappage scheme, both landlords and tenants are eligible to apply for money off such an appliance.
Such action may prove valuable, after Alan Ward, chairman of the Residential Landlords Association, said rental demand is likely to prove strong for some time to come.
