With energy efficiency becoming a central concern in the UK’s effort to combat climate change, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are no longer just paperwork—they’re pivotal in the property market. As we approach 2030, landlords across the UK must prepare for significant changes in EPC regulations. If you’re a landlord in London or Greater London, understanding these changes now can save you time, money, and legal troubles down the road.
What Is Changing by 2030?
The UK government has proposed that by 2030, all rental properties must have a minimum EPC rating of C. This is a step up from the current requirement of E rating, which has been mandatory since 2018 under MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards).
Why the Change?
This change is part of the UK’s long-term strategy to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Since buildings account for nearly 20% of the UK’s carbon footprint, improving their energy efficiency is critical.
What It Means for Landlords
EPC Upgrades Required: If your property is currently rated D, E, F, or G, you’ll need to make improvements before 2030.
Compliance Pressure: Failure to meet the new EPC standards could lead to hefty fines and restrictions on letting your property.
Increased Demand for EPC Assessments: As deadlines approach, booking a residential EPC or same-day EPC will become more competitive.
