When is EPC C Required?

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.
