FAQ

What is the current MEES minimum EPC rating? Since 1 April 2020 all privately rented domestic properties in England and Wales must have an EPC rating of E or better, unless a valid exemption is registered. See gov.uk/guidance/domestic-private-rented-property-minimum-energy-efficiency-standard-landlord-guidance.

What is the confirmed EPC C policy for 2030? The government response confirms a single planned compliance date of 1 October 2030 for an EPC C-equivalent standard in England and Wales, with a £10,000 cost cap and exemptions. There is no separate 2028 deadline for new tenancies. The higher standard requires legislation; the current minimum remains EPC E unless a valid exemption applies. See the GOV.UK response to Improving the energy performance of privately rented homes: 2025 update.
