The UK government has proposed updating energy efficiency standards for rental properties in England and Wales. The new target requires all domestic rental properties to achieve a Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) of EPC Band C by October 1, 2030.
Much of this proposal is subject to consultation and questions remain about the exact details, but the direction of travel is clear. Landlords can take strategic, cost-effective actions right now to protect their investments and avoid a last-minute rush.
This article is a simple guide to MEES and what landlords should do ahead of the proposed deadline.
If you are unlikely to be a landlord in October 2030 OR your property is already a Band C you need not read on any further.
