Landlord & Letting Agent Hub

EPC, EICR and MEES Compliance for Landlords and Managing Agents

Q: Which certificates does a landlord in England legally need?

A valid EPC (currently minimum band E for private lets, rising to band C from 1 October 2030), an Electrical Installation Condition Report renewed at least every five years, and an annual gas safety record where there is gas. HMOs and selective licensing areas add borough-specific requirements such as fire alarm and emergency lighting certificates.

Q: Can you do the EPC and the EICR on the same visit?

Yes. Our dual EPC + EICR package is carried out in one attendance so the tenant is disturbed once and both certificates are issued together.

Q: Do you work with letting agents and block managers on whole portfolios?

Yes. We run portfolio programmes for managing agents with a schedule of expiries, batched bookings through your tenants, and a single point of contact. Certificates are returned to you in one place and expiry tracking can be provided on request.

Q: What changed for landlords under the Renters' Rights Act?

From 1 May 2026 assured shorthold tenancies became periodic, Section 21 was abolished and new prescribed forms apply. A private rented sector database and landlord ombudsman follow, and the Decent Homes Standard extends to private lets by 2035. Compliance documentation, including a valid EPC and EICR, is now easier for a tenant or council to check and harder to be without.

EPC, EICR and MEES compliance delivered with single-visit efficiency across Greater London, for individual landlords, letting agents and block managers running portfolios.

One Attendance. Full Statutory Landlord Compliance.

Coordinating separate trades for EPCs and EICRs means more tenant contact, more void days and more chasing. Strata delivers both under one accreditation umbrella (DEA-qualified assessors and NICEIC-registered electricians) with one booking, one visit and one set of certificates, and for portfolios a managed schedule so nothing expires unnoticed.

EICR + EPC Together

Both Certificates From One Visit

Our electrician tests the installation and our assessor records the RdSAP inputs while they are on site. You receive an EICR with clear C1, C2, C3 and FI observations and a lodged EPC, together, usually within the same week. If the EICR shows C1 or C2 items we quote the remedial work separately so you can decide.

Renters' Rights Act & MEES

2026 Is the Year to Get the Paperwork in Order

Since 1 May 2026 tenancies are periodic and Section 21 has gone. A landlord database and ombudsman follow, and the Decent Homes Standard reaches private lets by 2035. Meanwhile EPC C becomes the minimum for all private tenancies on 1 October 2030 with fines of up to £30,000 per property. A current EPC and EICR are the two documents every enforcement route checks first.
