Who needs a Commercial EPC?
All commercial properties require an Energy Performance Certificate when being sold or let. Ratings are often used by tenants or potential buyers to make energy comparisons between properties. A Commercial EPC comes with a recommendation report that outlines how the energy performance of the building could be improved.
Benefits of a Commercial EPC?
An EPC assesses a buildings by giving a standard energy and carbon emission efficiency grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’, where‘A’ is the best and with the average to date being D/E.
Property with the best ratings are more attractive to potential tenants and buyers as they are cheaper to run.
Booking an EPC
Not having a valid Commercial EPC can be a real inconvenience for both owners and property agents. There is now shared responsibility between agent and commercial landlord to make sure that the property is legal to market by having a valid EPC within 7 days of marketing, if one is not already available, a reduction in time from the original 28 day grace period that was in place before April 2012 legislation came into effect this year with more stringent criteria regarding EPC law.
