The minimum energy efficiency standards are changing

Net Zero is coming, and with it, stricter Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) for privately rented properties. It is proposed that by 2028, all new tenancies must meet a minimum EPC rating of C, with existing tenancies complying by 2030.

Landlords may need to invest up to £15,000 per property, with affordability exemptions under review. Non-compliance could result in fines up to £30,000. Act now, where you can, to stay ahead of the changes and future-proof your rental property!
