Cheaper Bills and a More Energy Efficient Home
From 1 October 2030, every privately rented home in England and Wales must have an EPC rating of C or above. The rule applies to existing tenancies as well as new lets. If your property falls short, you won't be able to legally let it, and you could face fines of up to £30,000 per property. We help you reach a C before the deadline.

- EPCs for sales, new lets and renewals
- Pre-assessments showing the rating your home could reach
- Plain-English advice on the recommended improvements
- Post-works EPCs to record your new rating
