The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Halifax before we price.
- 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 can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
