The government's Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) regulations currently require rental properties to hold a minimum EPC Band E. From October 2030, that threshold jumps to Band C — a far more demanding requirement.
With approximately 2.9 million properties needing upgrades and a hard deadline approaching, contractors and assessors will be in short supply. Landlords who act early avoid both premium pricing and the risk of missing the deadline entirely.
