Domestic private rented property: minimum energy efficiency standard - landlord guidance

Guidance for landlords of domestic private rented property on how to comply with the 2018 ‘Minimum Level of Energy Efficiency’ standard (EPC band E). Select the link to find the Government Information relating to the Minimum Energy Regulations or just click here.

 

Commercial rented property: minimum energy efficiency standard - landlord guidance

 

 


The format and presentation have been around for a number of years, initially being found on electrical appliances such as fridges, etc. The EPC Certificate has a multi-colored banding ranging from G – (RED) through to A – (GREEN).

The further from the G band the more energy-efficient the property has been assessed as. In addition, the certificate shows the environmental impact of a property in terms of carbon emissions and also the likely costs associated with lighting and heating.

Whilst the EPC has been in place since 2008 there have been a number of changes to the regulations, the key being the Energy ACT of 2011 which states a property must be a minimum of an E rating in order to be let. For further information visit our section Domestic private rented property: minimum energy efficiency standard - Landlord Guidance.

In September 2020 there were further changes, which were primarily administrative, concerning how the certificate is presented and where it is registered. Select the links to see an example of the new style certificate.
