The Energy Act (2011) committed the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to bring in regulations by 1 April 2018 to make it unlawful to let properties in England and Wales which do not meet a prescribed minimum energy performance standard (MEPS).
From April 2018, subject to certain exemptions, domestic (Residential) and non-domestic (Commercial) landlords have been required to ensure that their properties reach at least an EPC rating of E or have installed improvements that could be funded by a Green Deal, ECO, government or third-party subsidy, before granting, renewing or extending a new lease.
Where the property does not reach an E EPC rating (i.e. is rated F or G), the landlord will also need to register an exemption. Properties will require a minimum energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of E by 1 April 2020 (for all existing domestic leases) and 1 April 2023 (for all existing non-domestic leases). An EPC is a legally required document under UK Legislation: The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 (No.991), commonly known as ‘EPBD’.
