As energy efficiency regulations tighten in the UK, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C or above is becoming increasingly important—especially for landlords and property owners.
Minimum EPC C Requirement for Landlords
From 2025, all newly rented properties in England and Wales are expected to meet a minimum EPC rating of C, as part of the government’s drive to reduce carbon emissions. By 2028, all rental properties—including those with existing tenants—must comply.
If you’re a landlord, it’s essential to act now to upgrade your property and avoid penalties or loss of rental income. Learn more about residential requirements on our Residential EPC page.
Why is EPC C Important?
EPC ratings range from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A C rating indicates good energy efficiency, which:
Reduces utility bills for occupants
Increases property value
Helps meet legal compliance
Contributes to environmental sustainability
To upgrade your property, check your current rating and implement changes like insulation, efficient heating, or double glazing. Our experts can guide you—see Same-Day EPC for urgent bookings.
