Royal properties rent out inadequate energy homes
More than 100 homes on the royal estates of King Charles and Prince William fail to meet legal energy efficiency standards, with many rated F or G. Despite regulations requiring properties to have at least an EPC rating of E since 2020, a significant number of these homes, including some occupied by vulnerable tenants, remain poorly insulated and unheated. The royal estates often cite exemptions or are suspected of exploiting regulatory gaps to continue renting out these properties, which frequently have issues like black mold and draughty windows. Critics argue this neglect puts tenants' health at risk while the estates benefit from substantial profits.
