What Compliant Lets does for landlords
Most landlords do not know the true EPC position of every rental. Some certificates are old, some are wrong and some properties have changed since they were assessed. We close that gap in three steps.
- Know: we check each property against the EPC register and flag the ones at risk.
- Plan: we work out the cheapest route to C, with grants counted first.
- Deliver: LAMTANS Engineering Ltd installs the measures and gives you the evidence.
Our guide to the EPC C 2030 rule explains what the government has decided so far.
Where is your property today?
Start with a quick, free answer. Our will my property reach EPC C tool gives a headline result without asking for your details. A personalised report follows if you want one.
Not sure the certificate is right? An independent EPC check, described on our EPC check page, looks at the evidence behind the rating. A new certificate can come out lower as well as higher, so we tell you that before you decide.

Funding for Greater Manchester landlords
Greater Manchester landlords have a route that many areas lack. The Warm Homes: Local Grant can pay for a landlord's first property in full, up to £30,000, where the property and tenant qualify. The landlord must support the Good Landlord Charter. Source: GMCA, checked 21 October 2026.
ECO4 ends on 31 December 2026, so tenants who may qualify should be checked now. Our grants for landlords guide shows who qualifies, the amounts and the end dates.

Frequently asked questions
What is the EPC C rule for landlords?
The government has confirmed that rented homes in England and Wales must reach the equivalent of EPC C by 1 October 2030. It is confirmed policy, not yet law, with legislation targeted for 2027.
Is my rental affected if I am in Greater Manchester?
Yes, the rule covers private rentals across England and Wales. Greater Manchester landlords also have access to the Warm Homes: Local Grant, which is only available in the region.
How much will EPC C cost me?
It depends on the property. The government has set a £10,000 cap per property, with a lower cap for homes valued under £100,000. We give a plan after an assessment, not a fixed quote.
Do I need to wait for the law before acting?
No. Spend on measures installed since 1 October 2025 counts towards the cap, so early work is not wasted. A free assessment shows where to start.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. The assessment request carries no charge and no obligation. If you later want an independent EPC check or an on-site survey, we explain any cost first.
Who does the work?
Retrofit work is delivered by LAMTANS Engineering Ltd. Compliant Lets is a trading name of LAMTANS Holdings Ltd and does not install anything itself.
Do you work with letting agents?
Yes. We offer agents a portfolio report, landlord letter templates and a clear route for landlords. The pilot is free and carries no referral fees.
