Gravesend Landlords – Are you aware of the changes coming?

As part of the government’s objective to increase energy efficiency and achieve net-zero carbon targets, it’s driving for greater energy efficiency in homes, which means new legislation is coming!

Currently Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)  only require a rating of E or above to rent out a property. In December 2025 we expect this to change to a rating of C or above (existing tenancies will have until 31st December 2028 to achieve this).

Fines for not having a valid EPC will increase from £5000 to £30,000.

If you are concerned or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office.
