Terms and Conditions for Compliant Lets

These terms and conditions explain how Compliant Lets works with EPC C landlords and letting agents in Greater Manchester. They cover our free retrofit assessment, the tools on this website, funding information, the part played by LAMTANS Engineering Ltd and the limits of what we can promise. Please read them before you send us a property address, and contact us if anything is unclear.

7 rules at a glance

1. The free retrofit assessment carries no charge and no obligation to go ahead.
2. Our advice is information, not legal advice. The 2030 EPC C deadline is confirmed government policy, not yet law.
3. Grants depend on the property, the tenant and the scheme rules. We cannot guarantee funding.
4. Our online tool gives a headline result only. A new EPC can come out lower as well as higher.
5. Compliant Lets does not install anything. LAMTANS Engineering Ltd delivers work under its own contract.
6. We tell you any cost before you agree to an EPC check, survey or installation.
7. Letting agent pilot terms are free, with no referral fees.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by LAMTANS Holdings Ltd, trading as Compliant Lets ("we", "us"). Registered company number: [insert company number]. Head office: 1023 Stockport Road, Manchester M19 2TB. Contact is by email and the contact form only: [insert contact email]. Retrofit work is delivered by LAMTANS Engineering Ltd, a separate company in the LAMTANS Group. The site was designed and developed by LAMTANS Technologies LLC.

By using this website or requesting an assessment, you agree to these terms.

2. What we do

We help landlords and letting agents in Greater Manchester understand the EPC position of their rentals, work out the cheapest funded route to EPC C, and arrange delivery of measures through LAMTANS Engineering Ltd. We work for landlords and letting agents. We start in Greater Manchester and plan to widen out across the North West.

3. Free retrofit assessment

You send a property address and a few details through the form. A retrofit assessor reviews the EPC evidence and the likely measures, and you receive a plain-English plan with the funding position and next steps. 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 and you decide whether to go ahead.

4. Information, not legal advice

Our guides, tables and tools are general information. They are not legal, tax or financial advice. Each legal position on our pages shows the date we checked it. At the date of the current pages, the minimum EPC for rentals is E and is in force. The 1 October 2030 EPC C target, the £10,000 spend cap and the fine of up to £30,000 per property are confirmed government policy, not yet law, and legislation is targeted for 2027. Policy can change, so check the date on each page and take advice if you need it.

5. Online tools and EPC checks

The "will my property reach EPC C" tool gives an indicative headline result. It is not an EPC, and it does not predict the rating a future assessor will issue. An independent EPC check looks at the evidence behind a rating. A new certificate can come out lower as well as higher, and we tell you that before you decide.

6. Grants and funding

We describe schemes such as the Warm Homes: Local Grant (for example the Greater Manchester privately rented scheme, which requires the landlord to support the Good Landlord Charter) and ECO4, which ends on 31 December 2026. Eligibility, amounts and end dates are set by the scheme operators and can change. We cannot guarantee that a property, landlord or tenant will qualify or that funding will be available when you apply. Where a grant depends on tenant details, we only ask for what the scheme needs and explain why.

7. Delivery by LAMTANS Engineering Ltd

Compliant Lets does not install measures. If you decide to go ahead, LAMTANS Engineering Ltd will agree the scope, price, timetable, warranties and guarantees with you in a separate written contract. That contract, not these terms, governs the installation. You can check LAMTANS Engineering Ltd on the public registers, including TrustMark, RECC, the ICO and the Gas Safe Register.

8. Letting agents

The agent pilot is free to agents and carries no referral fees. Agents remain responsible for their own duties to landlords and tenants. We provide portfolio reports and landlord letter templates as information to help you speak to landlords with a costed plan.

9. Your responsibilities

• Give us accurate information about the property and, where relevant, the tenant.
• Make sure you have the right to share any tenant or third-party details with us.
• Tell us if details change before work starts.
• Do not misuse the website, scrape it or try to interfere with its operation.

10. Intellectual property

The content, design and tools on this website belong to us or our licensors. You may use them for your own business of managing rented property. You may not copy, resell or republish them without written permission.

11. Limitation of liability

We take care to keep our pages accurate and up to date, but we cannot accept liability for losses caused by relying on policy that later changes, by grant decisions made by scheme operators, by information you supplied that was wrong or incomplete, or by a certificate rated differently from our indication. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.

12. Privacy

How we use your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy at /privacy-policy.

13. Complaints

Write to us at [insert contact email] or through the contact form with the details. We will acknowledge your complaint and try to resolve it fairly. If work was carried out by LAMTANS Engineering Ltd, say so and we will pass it to them and follow it up with you.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Services already agreed in writing continue on the terms agreed at the time.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer law gives you other rights.
