The government sets lower limits for energy performance called minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES). There are plans for MEES to be raised in the coming years and for their scope to be expanded.
Traditionally it has been rental properties that MEES have focused on, but future legislation will cover all properties.
Domestic premises – We expect that where practical, cost-effective and affordable, all domestic properties must reach an EPC band C by 2033.
Privately rented properties – We expect that where practical, cost-effective and affordable, all privately rented properties must reach an EPC band C by 2028.
Rented non-domestic buildings – We expect that where practical, cost-effective and affordable, all privately rented properties must reach an EPC band B by 2030.
Social housing, mortgage lenders and new builds are also planned to be specifically covered in the legislation. If you want to know more about this, call us.
