Energy-efficient rental properties are commanding a premium, analysis finds
-
Rental properties which are more energy efficient are attracting a “premium” to live there, a report has found.
Private sector tenants pay a typical premium of around £85 per month to rent a home with an energy efficiency rating of A or B compared with an equivalent property with a D rating, according to the analysis.
The research was carried out by The Mortgage Works, which is part of Nationwide Building Society.
Concerns around household bills and energy prices, against a background of global uncertainty, could make more energy efficient homes particularly attractive to tenants.
