Why Upgrading Your EPC Matters
Energy efficiency has become a central focus for landlords across the UK. With rising utility costs, increasing tenant expectations, and tighter government regulations on the horizon, ensuring your rental properties meet modern standards is no longer optional, it’s essential! A stronger EPC rating supports compliance and boosts property value, reduces long-term running costs, and makes your homes more attractive in a competitive rental market.
Upgrades Available with EPC Grants for Landlords:
- Solar (PV) Panels
- Wall Insulation
- High Heat Retaining Storage Heaters

For many landlords the cost of upgrading can feel overwhelming. That’s where EPC grants come in. These funding schemes are designed to help landlords improve insulation, install renewable technologies, and upgrade outdated heating systems without carrying the full financial burden themselves.
At Cucumber Eco, we specialise in helping landlords navigate the growing range of available grants, including the Warm Homes Local Grant and other regional funding programs. We make the process straightforward, from assessing your eligibility to managing the installation, so you can future-proof your portfolio with minimal hassle. Whether you own a single property or a full portfolio, we’re here to guide you toward the most effective, affordable route to achieving a higher EPC rating.

Who Is Eligible?
Understanding whether your property qualifies for EPC grants is the first step toward securing funding. While each scheme has its own specific rules, most grants, particularly the Warm Homes Local Grant, follow a set of common eligibility criteria. At Cucumber Eco, we assess all these factors on your behalf, ensuring you know exactly what support is available before any work begins.
While some schemes require the tenant to be on certain income-based benefits, many grants are now open to a wider range of households, including those on lower incomes who are not claiming support. The Warm Homes Local Grant, for example, allows eligibility to be based on:
- Household Income Less Than £31,000
- Health Conditions
- Receipt of benefits
- Increase the Value of Your Property
- Attract Reliable, Long-Term Tenants
- Reduce Tenant Complaints and Maintenance Issues
- Future-Proof Against Upcoming Regulations
- Lower Long-Term Operating Costs
- All Costs of Upgrading Is Covered
Why Landlords Should Act Now
Landlords need to upgrade their properties by 2030 if they want to be in accordance with UK law. The funding available is finite, so landlords need to act now while there is still funding available. Accessing EPC grants isn’t just about meeting regulations. It is also a strategic investment that can significantly strengthen your rental portfolio. By upgrading your property’s energy efficiency through funded measures, landlords can unlock long-term financial, operational and compliance benefits with minimal upfront cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my tenant to be on benefits to qualify for a grant?
Not always. While some schemes consider benefit status, many offer funding based on low household income, high energy bills or inefficient properties. Many landlords qualify even if their tenants are not on benefits.
What EPC rating does my property need?
Most grants prioritise properties rated E, F or G, though some schemes also accept D-rated homes if they meet additional criteria. If your property is already C or above, grant funding is less likely.
Can I apply for multiple rental properties?
Yes. There is no limit to how many properties a landlord can put forward, as long as each one meets the scheme’s eligibility criteria. We can assess all your properties as part of one simple process.
Do I need to pay anything toward the upgrades?
In many cases, grants cover the full cost of approved measures. Some properties may require a small landlord contribution, depending on the work needed and grant rules. We always explain costs upfront before any work begins.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary, but most landlords move from eligibility check to installation within 4–12 weeks. Properties requiring multiple upgrades may take slightly longer.
What types of improvements can be funded?
Common funded upgrades include insulation, heat pumps, solar panels, high-efficiency heating systems, ventilation improvements and smart heating controls.
Do you cover my area?
Cucumber Eco works with installers and scheme partners across England. Funding availability varies by region, but we handle this as part of your eligibility check.
Will I get proof that my EPC rating has improved?
Yes. After installation, you will receive updated documentation, certificates and, where applicable, a new EPC rating showing the improvement.
