There is a 4 year phasing in clause in the 2009 regulations. Does that mean that if you are already in a lease then its 4 years until the regulations come into force, or does it mean that houses that were set pre 1 Feb 2009 have 4 years to be upgraded (regardless of whether new tenannts move in / sign new leases)?
