MEES compliance, explained plainly

Every rented home in England needs EPC band C by 1 October 2030.

Most rentals aren't there yet. We tell you the cheapest legal route to get yours compliant — the right path, the grants you actually qualify for, the paperwork — before the deadline does it for you.

What a Health Check tells you

Three things every landlord asks first

No generic sustainability pitch — just the specific answer for your property.

Where you actually stand

What your current EPC means in practice, what's already compliant, and what isn't.

  • Current rating & gap to band C
  • What the new dual-metric rules mean for you
  • Whether your EPC is even still valid

The cheapest route through

Heating-system upgrade, smart-readiness route, or a registered exemption — modelled for your specific property.

  • Heating system vs. smart readiness
  • Realistic cost within the £10,000 cap
  • Exemption eligibility, if relevant

Money you're entitled to

Grant schemes change constantly. We check what you currently qualify for before you spend a penny of your own.

  • Boiler Upgrade Scheme
  • Warm Homes Local Grant
  • Any local authority schemes live in your area

How it works

Four steps, start to compliant

01 — Send your address

We pull your EPC

Including the official recommendations report, so we're starting from your real data, not a guess.

02 — Health Check

You get a plain report

Gap to band C, cheapest route, grant eligibility, and a realistic cost — in writing, no jargon.

03 — Decide your route

You choose how

Handle it yourself, use our vetted installer network, or register a valid exemption.

04 — Stay ahead

We track what changes

Renewal dates and rule changes monitored, so 2030 doesn't arrive as a surprise.

Why RenewMyLet

Run on compliance experience, not green branding.

RenewMyLet is run by a solicitor with 15+ years navigating regulated processes. The job here is the same skill in a different setting: read the rule correctly, find the cheapest legal route through it, and put it in writing so you're never guessing.

  • Plain-English reporting. No jargon, no scare tactics.
  • Fixed fee on the Health Check — you know the cost before you start.
  • Based in Walsall, working across the wider West Midlands.
  • We don't sell installs. Project management is paid by the contractor, not you.

Frequently asked

Before you ask

Are you a qualified Energy Assessor?

No. We don't produce EPC certificates ourselves — that requires an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor. We read your existing EPC, work out the cheapest legal route to band C, and manage the funding and installer side. If your property needs a brand-new assessment, we'll point you to an accredited assessor first.

What if my property doesn't have a valid EPC at all?

That's a compliance gap on its own — EPCs are valid for 10 years and required before any new letting. We flag it as step one of your Health Check and arrange an accredited assessment before anything else.

Is the 2030 deadline definitely happening?

The government confirmed a single 1 October 2030 deadline for all tenancies in January 2026, with a £10,000 cost cap. The exact EPC metrics are still being finalised, but the direction hasn't changed through more than a year of consultation. Waiting for it to disappear isn't a strategy.

What's the £10,000 cap actually for?

It's the maximum you can be required to spend bringing a single property up to standard. If you've genuinely spent £10,000 and it still doesn't reach band C, you can register a valid exemption instead of being forced to spend more.

Do you cover business premises too, not just rented homes?

Not yet. Commercial energy standards run on a separate timeline, with different rules and a different EPC scale. We're focused on residential rented property for now.
