Landlord Guidance for Domestic Rental Properties
Effective 1 April 2020, landlords of domestic rental properties across England and Wales are required to comply with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). This legislation mandates that properties must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of âEâ or higher to remain legally rentable. Properties rated âFâ or âGâ require upgrades to meet the new standards to avoid penalties.
At GDEA, we specialize in energy performance assessments, surveys, and energy-efficient installations, ensuring landlords remain compliant and avoid disruptions to their rental operations.
What Is MEES and Why It Matters for Landlords?
The MEES regulations aim to improve the energy efficiency of rental properties. All properties with existing or new tenancies must achieve at least an âEâ rating on their EPC, or be legally exempt.
Failure to comply with MEES regulations may result in financial penalties and restrictions on leasing. If your property falls within F or G ratings, we can provide tailored energy efficiency solutions to meet compliance requirements.
Energy Efficiency Ratings and Recommendations
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides a detailed report on your propertyâs current energy efficiency and recommended improvements. These improvements are essential to boost your EPC rating to a compliant level.
Some recommended measures could include:
- Insulation upgrades (loft, wall, and floor insulation)
- Efficient heating systems (boiler replacement, heat pumps)
- Double glazing installation
- Smart energy controls
GDEAâs expert assessors can guide you through the process of selecting the most effective improvements.
Do You Have a Valid EPC?
An EPC is valid for 10 years. Once expired, the property must undergo a new assessment by an accredited Energy Performance Assessor before it can legally be rented to a new tenant.
Check your propertyâs EPC rating on the official EPC Register using the propertyâs postcode.
