EPC for Landlords in London
Get a valid EPC, understand the minimum energy efficiency standard and plan improvements across one property or a whole portfolio.
What landlords need to know
You need a valid EPC before letting a property, and an EPC must be provided to prospective tenants. In England and Wales, privately rented homes must normally meet the minimum energy efficiency standard (currently an E rating) unless a valid exemption is registered. Penalties of up to £5,000 can apply for letting a domestic property below the standard without an exemption.
The government has stated its intention to raise the minimum standard for privately rented homes to EPC C by 2030. The detail and legislation can change, so check the current position before planning works. We can help you assess where each property stands today.
