Energy Efficiency (Domestic Private Rented Property) (Scotland) Regulations 2026: partial BRIA
This partial business and regulatory impact assessment (BRIA) accompanies the Scottish Government consultation on the proposed regulations to introduce minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) in domestic private rented sector (PRS) properties.
Declaration
I have read the Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment and I am satisfied that, given the available evidence, it represents a reasonable view of the likely costs, benefits and impact of the leading options. I am satisfied that business impact has been assessed with the support of businesses in Scotland.
I am also satisfied that officials have considered the impact on consumers as required by the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 in completion of the Consumer Duty section of this BRIA.
