Advice for Landlords on upcoming EPC rating changes.
Managing the change to HEMS and new EPC grading
Speak to a Energy Assessor before undertaking improvement measures!
The new EPC regulations mean that by 2030, all privately rented properties in England and Wales must reach a minimum EPC rating of Band C for all tenancies — unless they’re exempt under the new EPC rules for landlords.
One of the most discussed aspects of the update is the £10,000 cost cap. To break this down, put simply:
Landlords are required to spend up to £10,000 on energy efficiency improvements
For properties valued under £100,000, the cost cap is 10% of the property value
Once a heating upgrade has been installed, if the property still can’t reach Band C, an exemption can be registered
Exemptions must be evidence-based and formally lodged, such as if tenants refuse access to the property
With these caveats in place, how can landlords have the biggest impact on their EPC rating within reason of their budget?

Richard, just to say thank you for your prompt and efficient service. Sadly this seems the exception rather than the rule now so is much appreciated. Kath Donaldson
