MEES Rules for Oxfordshire Landlords: What You Need to Know

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards set the legal baseline for renting out property in England and Wales. Since April 2020, it has been unlawful to let any domestic property with an EPC rating below E, unless a valid exemption has been registered.

Penalties for non-compliance can reach up to £150,000 for breaches lasting three months or more, and local authorities can publish your details on a public register of non-compliant landlords.

Oxfordshire has a high proportion of older properties where meeting energy efficiency standards can be particularly challenging. Understanding your obligations and the exemptions available to you is essential.
