To begin with, let’s discuss MEES or Minimum Energy Efficiency Regulations. These regulations were implemented in 2016 and gained significant importance in 2018. However, they will become even more crucial starting from April 2023. Initially, in 2018, MEES set the minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating for new lettings at “E”. But now, as of April 2023, these regulations will also affect existing tenancies. This means that property owners need to promptly assess the status of all their lettings. Furthermore, the Government has introduced a roadmap for EPC requirements until 2030. This roadmap outlines the gradual increase in the minimum EPC rating to “B” in stages. For existing tenancies, the minimum rating will be “E” until April 2028, after which it will progress to “C” in April 2029 and finally reach “B” in April 2030. Similarly, for new tenancies, the minimum rating will be “E” until April 2027, then progress to “C” in April 2028, and ultimately reach “B” in April 2030. It is worth noting that there may be some relaxation in the requirements for the “C” rating in April 2026 and April 2027, but we are still awaiting updates on this matter. In our opinion, the best approach is to strategize how your properties can meet these standards. With the positive changes in EPC calculations since September 2222 and the increasing impact of renewable energy on the grid, you might be surprised by what your property can achieve.
