Two regulatory deadlines are closing on UK rental stock — and EPC Hunt maps every property caught between them.

  • ECO4 funding ends 31 Dec 2026 — no successor scheme announced.
  • MEES 2030 makes every English & Welsh rental below EPC band C illegal to re-let — £30,000 fine per missed property.
  • 2.5 million non-compliant rentals mapped across both nations, filtered to your patch with the retrofit work each one needs.
  • Built on official gov.uk data — no scraping, no purchased lists.

MEES 2030 makes it illegal to re-let any rental below EPC C in England and Wales from 1 October 2030. That is around 2.5 million UK rental homes (DESNZ estimate) — every one needs a heat pump, insulation, glazing or solar before that date. EPC Hunt helps the MCS-certified installers who will do the work plan their pipeline against that clock.

How it works

Map. Score. Plan.

Three steps, one Monday-morning routine. Replaces 40 minutes per property with under one minute.

1
MAP

Search by postcode plus a 1–50 mile radius. See every EPC D, E, F, G rental on a live UK map. Filter by tenure, fuel type, glazing, heating system and recommended measures.

2
SCORE

Each property gets a 0–100 retrofit-priority score blending EPC band, modelled heating cost, recommended measures and grant eligibility. Sort the highest-priority compliance jobs to the top.

3
PLAN

Export your prioritised compliance schedule to CSV. Match it to your job calendar. Track upcoming work against the MEES 2030 deadline — and identify which properties still qualify for ECO4 funding before it sunsets 31 December 2026.

What it does

Every retrofit-eligible rental, in one compliance dashboard.

Build a prioritised job pipeline from public UK government property data. Plan your year against two deadlines that matter — the ECO4 funding sunset on 31 December 2026, and the MEES 2030 cliff.

Common questions

Quick answers

What is MEES 2030 and why does it matter?

MEES 2030 is the UK regulation that bans the rental of any privately let home in England and Wales rated below EPC band C from 1 October 2030. It is set by DESNZ and enforced by local authorities — civil penalty up to £30,000 per property, per breach. Around 2.5 million UK rental homes (DESNZ estimate) sit below EPC C today, which means roughly four and a half years of retrofit work for every fabric, heating and glazing trade in the country. The deadline matters because it converts a soft net-zero ambition into an enforceable per-property fine. For installers, it is the clearest demand signal in UK retrofit history: a fixed date, a known cohort of properties, and a statutory clock.

How many UK properties are affected by the 2030 deadline?

Around 2.5 million privately rented homes in England and Wales sit below EPC band C today, per the DESNZ estimate published alongside the Government Response of 21 January 2026. That is the cohort that legally must be upgraded to EPC C, registered with an exemption, or removed from the rental market by 1 October 2030. The figure excludes social housing (housing-association and council stock are governed separately), Scotland (different regulations), and Northern Ireland (no MEES regime). Owner-occupied homes are not in scope. EPC Hunt indexes 17.78 million unique properties across England and Wales — owner-occupied, social and rental — and surfaces the rental subset via tenure and EPC-band filters for compliance planning.

Can I export property records for my job-planning tool?

Yes. Every plan ships CSV export with rich columns — postcode, EPC band, recommended measures, retrofit-priority score, and ECO4 funding-window flag. Starter allows 50 property-record exports per month; Pro allows 1,000 per month plus an Excel export with extra columns. The CSV imports cleanly into spreadsheet-based job planners and most installer ops tools. There is no native CRM integration today — we ship a stable column schema instead, so your import mappings keep working as we add fields. API access is on Pro for installers who want to pull rather than export.

What data sources power EPC Hunt?

Two open UK government registries, both licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The MHCLG Energy Performance of Buildings Register supplies around 24 million EPC certificates and the underlying recommendations. HM Land Registry INSPIRE polygons provide the title-boundary data we use to render properties accurately on the map. We deduplicate the lot on UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number) into 17.78 million unique properties indexed. No scraping, no purchased contact lists, no personal proprietor data is surfaced inside the product.
