What you are up against without a plan

⚖️
Illegal

To rent an EPC F or G property without a registered exemption — this has been law since April 2023 and carries fines of up to £30,000

📅
2028

Proposed year by which new tenancies must have EPC C or above — under active consultation by the current government

💷
£7,500

Available per property through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme towards a heat pump — before you spend a penny of your own money

🚦
2030

Proposed year all rented homes must be EPC C — regardless of tenancy type. Most landlords have not yet started planning for it

Grant figures are indicative. Eligibility depends on property and tenant circumstances — the tool flags which schemes apply.

"I had six properties rated D or E and no idea where to start. The tool showed me which ones to tackle first, what grants I could claim, and what the net cost would be. Went from overwhelmed to having a clear plan in 20 minutes."

"The exemption checker was the part I didn't know I needed. One property qualifies for a consent exemption — the freeholder refused permission for external insulation. I'd have spent £14,000 unnecessarily."

BTL investorLeeds

"Seeing the 2028 and 2030 deadlines against each property's renewal date made it real. I could suddenly see which ones were urgent and which ones had time. Started with the two rated E — both now rated C."
