Commercial EPC Certificate London & Home Counties

An Energy Performance Certificate assesses the energy consumption of a building by evaluating several factors including the heating, ventilation, lighting, insulation, glazing and layout.

The certificate comes with a separate recommendation report which will suggest ways in which the building can become more cost effective and reduce its carbon footprint.

We can provide an EPC assessment to any commercial premises within the M25 area and Home Counties.

For commercial landlords in England and Wales, 2028 is a critical milestone under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Current proposals and government consultations are aimed at making it unlawful to continue letting commercial properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating below 'C', with an ultimate target of reaching a 'B' rating by 2030

Key 2028 MEES Implications
    •    The 'C' Target Deadline: Building owners should prepare for all leased commercial premises to meet a minimum EPC rating of 'C'.
    •    Lease Renewal & New Tenancies: Any non-domestic property let, re-let, or renewing tenancy agreements will generally need to hit this 'C' threshold.

Next Steps & Actionable Advice
    1    Audit Your Portfolio: Determine the exact EPC rating of your commercial buildings
    2    Implement Upgrades: Proactively plan necessary energy-efficiency retrofits (e.g., LED lighting, solar panel installations, insulation, or modern boilers) to elevate properties to band 'C' or higher.
    3    Register Exemptions: If a property cannot reach the required standard despite making all relevant improvements, landlords must legally register an exemption on the PRS Exemptions Register.

Failing to meet MEES regulations without an active exemption can result in substantial financial penalties
