Useful Information
What is a MEES Survey
We’ve been carrying out bespoke home insulation surveys for many years, so we know exactly what we’re looking for. We’ll arrange a time and date that’s convenient for you, and our highly qualified surveyors will visit your property. Following the visit we’ll recommend ways you can save energy and money on bills. We’ll also be able to assess whether you may be eligible for a government grant.
The Minimum Energy Efficient Standards is important for a number reasons.
First, it will help to lower UK carbon emissions. Secondly, if your property fails to meet the MEES regulations, your property may not be compliant for let. It could also cost you quite a lot of money, so why not book a free survey today.
Government Grant Schemes
If you own property that needs work to make it energy efficient, there are government grants that could help dramatically reduce costs. The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme is a government plan funded by some of the UK’s largest utility companies. If the property is old and not well insulated, you may not have to pay anything. If it’s a more modern property you may have to contribute towards the cost.
The Local Authority (LA) Flex Funding Scheme offers even more opportunities to qualify. A free Lifetime Savings home energy assessment is an easy way to find out if you’re eligible.
Meeting the Minimum Energy Efficient Standards
If you qualify for a grant you could get guaranteed insulation in the UK from Lifetime Savings. Pairing you with qualified and approved Installers can make sure your property meets the required EPC rating. This in turn can add considerable value to your property. It also means you’re playing your part in reducing carbon emissions and improving housing stock in the UK.
How Do You Qualify for a Grant?
To apply for the government’s ECO scheme, you’ll need to show that the property is legally yours. (If you’re renting, you’ll need to liaise with your landlord). People receiving certain benefits will qualify, and we can offer advice on which ones apply.
As the name suggests, the LA Flex Funding Scheme is more flexible, covering non-benefit households. Other considerations are taken into account, such as age, long term illness, pregnancy etc. (The guidelines may vary depending on your local authority.)

Benefits of owning a property that meets the MEES
As of 1st April 2018, private residential and commercial landlords cannot renew or grant a new tenancy arrangement for more than six months if the property has an EPC rating of ‘F’ or lower.
For new lets and renewals of tenancies from 1st April 2020, it will be unlawful to lease out a property that breaches the requirement for a minimum EPC ‘E’ rating, unless there is an applicable exemption.
Minimum Energy Efficient Standards (MEES)
From April 2023 – new MEES regulations will be applicable to all lettings, including existing leases.
Here are three key benefits of owning a MEES-compliant property as a landlord:
- Play your part in improving the energy efficiency of the UK’s housing stock
- Save your tenants money on energy bills with improved heating and insulation
- Improved EPC ratings for your property means improved property values
What are the consequences for failing to meet the MEES?
- Landlords in breach of the MEES for less than three months will be liable for 10% of their property’s rateable value, up to a maximum of £10,000.
- Landlords in breach of the MEES for more than three months will be liable for 20% of their property’s rateable value, up to a maximum of £150,000.
