The Government has published its response to the Reforms to the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) regime consultation, affecting how EPCs are measured and which properties need one.

Key points:
🟢 EPCs have to be in place before marketing a property for sale or rent. (not within 28 days as currently allowed)
🟢 More property types will need EPCs, including HMOs renting rooms, short-term lets, and heritage properties.
🟢 From 2027, EPCs will use four headline metrics: energy cost, fabric performance, heating system efficiency, and smart readiness, meaning ratings could look very different.
🟢 EPCs under the current system remain valid for their full 10-year period – act now to lock one in!

For landlords, this means understanding your current EPC ratings and exploring improvement options more important than ever.

The government has outlined major upcoming changes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) that landlords should start thinking about and preparing for.

The EPC metric will evolve from a single headline rating to four key measures: energy cost, fabric performance (how well a property retains heat), heating system efficiency, and smart readiness.

EPCs will also need to be obtained before marketing a property for sale or rent, rather than within 28 days of letting. The new rules are expected to cover more property types, including HMOs renting individual rooms, short-term lets, and heritage properties.

For landlords, this means understanding your current EPC ratings and exploring improvement options more important than ever.

A warm, well-looked-after home makes all the difference!

Over the next few years, rental properties will be shaped to feel better to live in. By 2030, all rental properties are expected to be more energy-efficient (reaching EPC of band C or above), and by 2035, they’ll need to meet the Decent Homes Standard. helping keep places warmer, safer and in good shape.

That can mean improving EPC ratings, sorting out damp or mould, and keeping on top of repairs. It’s all about creating homes people are happy to live in, whatever the season.

If you’re not sure where to start, eco-Landlord is here to help.

Because a comfortable home isn’t just better for tenants — it feels good for landlords too.
