A fast, affordable way to understand your MEES position and plan ahead.
With the Government currently consulting on updated Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) for England, it’s more important than ever for landlords to understand how these changes might affect their portfolio.
Our MEES Compliance Check will assess whether your properties are likely to meet the proposed standards and, if not, provide a clear estimate of the types of improvements needed – along with indicative costs.
What you’ll get:
This remote service is designed to give you a helpful overview without the need for a full home survey.
It’s ideal for landlords who want to understand their position and start planning – but we always recommend seeking further advice (i.e. a survey) before commissioning any works to make sure they’re right for your property.
Supportive. Straightforward. Smart. Let us help you stay ahead of the curve.

This service combines an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with a targeted report that maps out the least-cost route to meeting the proposed Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard – EPC band C.
It’s ideal for landlords who want a clear indication of potential costs, based on an up-to-date survey, without unnecessary complexity.
What’s included:
Simple. Focused. Cost-effective. Perfect for landlords who want to understand potential costs, particularly suitable for newer homes or those likely to need only simple measures.
For landlords seeking a deeper understanding of their property’s energy performance and upgrade potential, and homes that are older, or more complex, the Ecofurb Plan offers a full home survey and advanced analysis.
It’s designed to reduce tenant disruption while giving you everything you need to move forward with confidence.
What’s included:
Comprehensive insight. Future-ready planning. This plan goes beyond compliance. It helps you future-proof your property, improve tenant wellbeing, and make informed decisions about installation and planning.

The MEES Compliance Check is a quick, low-cost service designed to help landlords understand whether their rental properties are likely to meet proposed new energy efficiency standards.
It provides an overview of your current EPC rating and estimates the types of improvements that may be needed, along with indicative costs.
No, this service does not include a physical home survey. It’s based on available property data and is intended to give you a helpful starting point.
For detailed planning or commissioning works, we recommend one of our advice services.
Ecofurb holds data on every British home relating to the construction, fabric, lighting and heating systems of the property.
This is drawn from publicly available or open data. The dataset does not hold or publish any personally identifiable data.
Our estimates are designed to help you understand the potential scope and scale of work and vary dependent on the information available.
Our calculations include the latest price data from the market and the data that we have relating to your home. Cost estimates are more reliable with better information, so improve with home surveys, condition surveys and customer input.
Yes, the MEES Compliance Check, EPC Plus MEES and Ecofurb Plan for landlords can be used for most residential rental properties in mainland Britain.
If your property has unique features, has 5 or more bedrooms or has had multiple extensions we recommend the Ecofurb Plan for landlords.
We also recommend this fuller advice service if you have homes at risk of damp and mould, as other services do not include a ventilation or condition assessment.
If your property falls below the proposed minimum EPC rating, we’ll outline the types of improvements that could help bring it up to standard.
You’ll also receive a guide on which of our advice or installation services can help you with next steps.
Absolutely. If you manage a portfolio, we can provide checks for multiple properties and help you prioritise improvements based on cost-effectiveness and compliance risk.
If you have a large number of homes we may recommend you use our parent company Cotality’s service, Portfolio.
Portfolio is used by large landlords including National Trust and the landlords of over 2 million homes. It is browser-based software that you can use on an ongoing basis to manage the energy and carbon performance of your homes.
This option is ideal for landlords who want a simple, budget-focused outline of what may be required. It’s concise, cost-effective, and highlights essential measures to meet EPC C, along with optional upgrades that could reduce tenant energy bills.
The EPC Plus MEES report is not suited to larger, older or otherwise more complex homes where we recommend the Ecofurb Plan for Landlords in order to take into account the challenges that come with such properties. We also recommend the Ecofurb Plan for homes where there is a risk of damp and mould so that full advice can be provided on ventilation and the impact of any existing problem areas on proposed measures.
It includes:
Ventilation plays a key role in maintaining indoor air quality and preventing issues like damp and mould. The Ecofurb Plan includes expert advice on ventilation to ensure that any energy efficiency upgrades don’t compromise the health or comfort of tenants.
We will help you reduce the impact on tenants. The Ecofurb Plan’s 360° scan and detailed measurements are designed to minimise disruption. These support future quotes and planning without the need for repeat visits – saving time and reducing hassle for tenants.
Yes, they do.
MEES Compliance Check uses our home energy dataset to provide a concise report setting out your homes likely performance, and potential upgrades required by MEES.
EPC Plus MEES provides an EPC with an additional concise report focused on compliance and cost-effective upgrades.
Ecofurb Plan for Landlords delivers a more detailed analysis, including technical insights, planning considerations, and long-term improvement strategies.
We work with trusted third-party installers to deliver a wide range of energy efficiency upgrades, including:
The range of measures we can offer may vary depending on your location and installer availability – but rest assured we will try our best to source someone who can help you.
All measures are selected based on your property’s needs and your chosen plan (EPC Plus MEES, where only single measures are required, or Ecofurb Plan for Landlords).
Yes. Our installation service is designed to follow either the EPC Plus MEES or Ecofurb Plan for Landlords.
These reports provide the technical foundation and ensure that any work carried out is appropriate, cost-effective, and aligned with MEES compliance.
Yes. Once your Ecofurb Plan is complete, we can provide detailed quotes based on the recommended measures.
These are informed by your property’s scan and measurements, helping you make informed decisions without unnecessary delays.
If you have an EPC Plus MEES report, we may be able to provide a quote, depending on the measure.
We recommend an Ecofurb Plan where multiple measures are involved as different measures can impact on each other, and more technical advice is required.
We use data from your Ecofurb Plan for Landlords including 360° scans and floorplans – to reduce the need for repeat visits wherever possible.
Our installers are experienced in working in tenanted properties and aim to complete work efficiently, with minimal disruption.
Absolutely. Our service is designed to help landlords bring properties up to EPC Band C (or the current legal minimum), using the most cost-effective and practical measures.
We also suggest additional options if you want to take further action to reduce energy bills, which in turn can improve the comfort and affordability for your tenants.
It’s your choice.
We offer independent advice, and recognise that you may well already work with contractors who can install the measures.
If that’s the case, use the Plan to inform your procurement and ensure that pricing is in line with the market. If you don’t already have contractors in mind, we work with a network of vetted, experienced installers who meet high standards for quality and compliance.
All work is overseen by Ecofurb to ensure it aligns with your plan and meets regulatory requirements.
If your property requires planning permission or building control approval for certain measures, we’ll advise you on the next steps and can support you through the process but these are the responsibility of the property owner.
