Energy efficiency café for landlords to be held in Ellesmere Port

Cheshire West and Chester Council is working with Pure Leapfrog retrofit team, who support landlords to provide clean powered and cosy homes, to put on an Energy Efficiency session the Café at Theatre Porto in Ellesmere Port . The session, which is taking place on Wednesday, 4 November, will provide landlords with the opportunity to learn about energy efficiency in rental homes.

Retrofit for Lets is a government funded project exploring the future of rented homes with landlords and tenants.

Landlords, can drop in any time between 10.30am and 1.30pm for a short chat and a complimentary drink. You would then have the option of taking up a free retrofit assessment, to provide a more in-depth evaluation of energy efficiency within the property.

Sooner or later, all homes must achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘C’ or above to keep the UK on track to reach net zero by 2050. 16 million homes will need upgrade work in England alone.

Staff from the Councils’ newly created Private Rented Sector Service will be attending the session too. The service aims to work with landlords who provide affordable and safe rental homes and support both the landlord and tenant to ensure successful tenancies and reduce homelessness.
