Landlord Property Performance Operating System guidance
Compliance Is The Minimum Standard
Most landlords focus on compliance.
We focus on understanding.
A landlord who spends thousands of pounds on the wrong improvements may see little or no benefit.
Understanding a property's energy performance before investing is often the smarter approach.
Our Property Performance Operating System™ brings Energy Performance Certificate insight, compliance planning, exemption evidence preparation, portfolio tracking and evidence storage into one guided landlord experience.
The MHEE Property Intelligence Platform uses publicly available EPC data where available together with information provided by the user to generate advisory analysis, recommendations and improvement planning. Results are based on actual EPC data where available but do not constitute a new EPC assessment or official EPC certificate. Where an official EPC assessment is required, this can be arranged through Make My Home Energy Efficient.
Exemption guidance is advisory only. A professional exemption evidence review should only be considered after applicable measures have been installed, evidence has been collected, a post-improvement EPC reassessment has been completed, and the property remains below EPC C.
Landlord journey
From compliance pressure to evidence-led planning
The aim is not just to pass a requirement. It is to understand the property, prioritise spend and keep evidence organised.
Step 2
See the gap to C
Check the current score and how many points are needed to reach EPC C.
Step 3
Review improvements
See practical improvements that may help close the gap.
Step 4
Estimate payback
Compare likely cost, annual saving and time to recover the investment.
Step 5
Decide next step
Request a review, roadmap, assessment or exemption evidence check if needed.

Portfolio Intelligence Review™
For landlords and investors with multiple properties.
Portfolio thinking
A portfolio should not be viewed as a collection of individual properties. It should be viewed as a collection of opportunities.
Some properties may offer significant improvement potential. Others may already be performing well.
Understanding where to focus attention can help landlords prioritise resources more effectively.
Portfolio tracking and investment priority
For landlords with more than one property, the Property Performance Operating System helps compare which assets may need attention first and where improvement potential may be strongest.
Portfolio Intelligence Engine™ helps landlords and investors compare properties by risk, urgency, opportunity and likely return from improvement activity.
Priority view
Highest Priority -> Lowest Priority
Useful for portfolio planning where budget, timing and compliance risk need to be balanced.

Exemption evidence preparation
Where exemption questions arise after installed measures and reassessment, the focus is on organising invoices, photos, installer details, dates, specifications and reassessment documentation.
Exemption Intelligence Engine™ helps landlords organise the post-improvement evidence that may matter after suitable measures have been installed and a reassessment still leaves the property below the required standard.
This is guidance only. It is not legal advice, not a legal determination and not a decision on any exemption pathway.

Exemption Intelligence Engine™
Is a post-improvement exemption evidence review worth considering?
This workflow only considers exemption evidence review after applicable measures have been installed, evidence has been collected and a post-improvement Energy Performance Certificate reassessment still leaves the property below the required standard.
Exemption guidance is advisory only. A professional exemption evidence review should only be considered after applicable measures have been installed, evidence has been collected, a post-improvement EPC reassessment has been completed, and the property remains below EPC C.
Advisory output
Evidence is incomplete
Evidence is incomplete. Collect installation evidence and reassessment documentation before considering an exemption evidence review.
- Collect invoices, photos, installer details, installation dates and product specifications.
- Keep quotes, reports and correspondence together.
- Do not rely on constraints alone as evidence of an exemption pathway.
