HMO energy upgrades improve the energy performance certificate (EPC) rating and cut running costs: loft and wall insulation, heating and controls, glazing, ventilation and lighting. For a house in Wimbledon we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Wimbledon?
Here is what usually applies to a Wimbledon job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Rented homes must currently meet at least EPC E, with a £3,500 spending cap. The government plans EPC C by October 2030, subject to legislation.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp, mould and fire, under the HHSRS; revised regulations and guidance applied from 23 June 2026.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
