Here's What's Changing and When

From March 2027, every rental property in Victoria must meet new energy efficiency standards. Insulation. Efficient cooling. Draught-proofing. Electric hot water. Hard deadlines. No extensions.

On top of that, 15 existing minimum standards are already enforceable today — and since November 2025, your property must be compliant before it’s even advertised.

The average compliance gap we find is $3,200+. Some properties need $15,000–20,000+ in works. Most landlords have no idea until it’s too late.

The Independence Standard

Safehaus has zero financial incentive to find more problems than exist. We don't sell equipment. We don't install anything. We don't quote for works. Your report is written to save you money — not make us more.

That's why buyer's agents, conveyancers, and property professionals refer their clients to us. They know the advice isn't compromised.
