I have a flat that was let to the current tenants in 2003. It has an F rating on the EPC. Do I need to improve the rating? The tenants don’t want me to because they would have to move out for me to do the work. What should I do?

KS-S

No. This was before EPCs we’re required and the regulations only apply where an EPC is/was legally required.
