EPC Update – New 2030 Deadline
The Government has updated the rules for rental properties, confirming that all privately rented homes must reach at least an EPC C rating by 1 October 2030. This applies to all tenancies, including existing agreements, replacing the previous plan that would have required new tenancies to comply by 2028.
Alongside the deadline change, the maximum cost for improvements has been capped at £10,000 per property, and recent investments made from October 2025 will count towards this cap. The Government is encouraging a ‘fabric first’ approach, focusing on measures like insulation or window replacements to improve energy efficiency.
At Atlantek Lettings, we can help landlords understand these changes and plan ahead, making compliance straightforward and stress-free.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
