Your property needs a C. Here's the calm version.

The headlines are noisy; the practical position is simple. If your rental property is rated D or below, work is coming between now and 1 October 2030. Done at the right moment, it's a planned improvement to your asset. Done late, it's a scramble with your rent on the line.

1 October 2030

The date rented homes are expected to need EPC C for tenancies.

£10,000

The proposed cost cap per property — spend this on qualifying improvements and an exemption can apply even if C isn't reached.

£30,000

Proposed maximum penalty for letting a non-compliant property.

Why the void is the moment

Insulation, heating and glazing works are disruptive with a tenant in place — and near-invisible in an empty property between tenancies. Our whole model is built on that: your agent holds a forward schedule of which property voids when, and the works land inside the void window. No lost rent, no tenant disruption, no scramble in 2029 when every contractor in England is booked out.

If your agent works with us

Your agent may already have your property on a compliance schedule through us. Everything runs through them — the assessment, the quote, the works, and the independent certificate at the end. Ask your agent for your property's position against 2030; they can show you the route to C and what it costs.

If you manage your own property

We can assess a single property or a small portfolio directly — the same free assessment, the same independent certification. Start with the contact form and include the property address; we'll come back within one working day.
