What we do for landlords
Domestic EPC assessments, with the MEES context around them
We carry out accredited domestic EPC assessments on rental properties across London, from our base in Stratford. The certificate is what tells you where a property actually stands — and for a landlord, that is the question that matters.
Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, a property covered by the regulations cannot be let in England and Wales with an EPC rating below band E unless a valid exemption is registered. That has applied to all tenancies since April 2020. Your EPC shows the current band, and the recommendations on it indicate improvements that could raise the rating if you need to.
Two things worth being straight about. The rating is calculated by approved software from the assessed data — we record the property accurately, we do not choose or adjust the score. And registering a formal MEES exemption has its own eligibility rules and evidence requirements; that is a separate process which the assessment does not automatically certify.
For the detail behind the rules, see our guides to the current MEES regulations, EPC requirements and exemptions for landlords and what is proposed between now and 2030.
Don’t Get Caught Out
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Local authorities can issue civil penalties for breaches of MEES. Maximum fines escalate with the length of the breach.
| Breach | Maximum Fine |
|---|---|
| False information on PRS Exemptions Register | £1,000 |
| Failing to comply with a compliance notice | £2,000 |
| Letting a non-compliant property under 3 months | £4,000 |
| Letting a non-compliant property 3+ months | £5,000 |
Heads up: Government consultations have proposed penalty increases to £30,000 per property when EPC C becomes the new minimum standard.

Landlord Questions
EPC FAQs for London Landlords
You must make the EPC available to prospective tenants before they view or rent the property, and provide a copy before the tenancy begins. In practice, have it ready before you start marketing the let so nothing holds up move-in.
No. An EPC lasts 10 years and covers consecutive tenancies within that period, as long as it stays valid on the government register. You only need a new one when it expires or after major works that change the property’s energy performance.
It is a breach of MEES. Local authorities can currently issue civil penalties of up to £5,000 per property (the government has proposed raising this to £30,000 under future EPC C standards). A property rated F or G cannot be let at all unless you have a registered exemption.
You must either improve it to at least band E before re-letting, or register a valid exemption on the PRS Exemptions Register. Your EPC report lists the specific improvements; common routes are loft and cavity insulation, LED lighting, and a modern boiler with controls.
Yes. We offer portfolio rates for landlords and letting agents and can schedule several properties together across London. Send us the addresses and we’ll arrange a coordinated visit and a tailored quote.
