New EPC Regulations Coming In 2025

The UK Government has proposed a new EPC regulation that will surely impact domestic rental properties in England. By 2025, all landlords must ensure their properties have a certified EPC rating of C or above, which will be the new requirement for 2025. Start getting your property ready so you’re not rushing and risking huge penalty costs.

The government has announced there will be a new requirement for landlords in 2025. By the end of 2024 landlords must be set to comply with a new minimum EPC grade of C or above. Currently, the minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES) allowed for rented properties is grade E. It's no doubt this will impact domestic rental properties in England and Wales, which is why we recommend landlords start working towards this new regulation now to avoid the risk of penalties and huge costs of last-minute preparations.

Houses in the UK are generally older than in the rest of Europe, and considerable improvements can be made to the energy efficiency of UK homes. These changes will upgrade the private sector homes EPC which helps to reduce energy bills and increase comfort for tenants as homes will be warmer, whilst focusing on reducing the delivery of the statutory fuel poverty target of EPC by a deadline of 2030. However, these changes will be phased in, starting with new tenancies from 2025 and then all tenancies from 2028 and applying to all domestic and private rental properties on a lease between 6 months to 99 years. If you do not comply, you could face penalties of up to £30,000.
