EPC’s are now mandatory in the UK whenever you advertise a lease or sell a commercial property. Failure to provide an Energy Performance Certificate is an offence and will jeopardise the whole transaction.

We will register your EPC with the Government keeping you and your business legal.

The Commercial EPC is a requirement of European Law. It comes from the The (EU) European Energy

Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) Directive Implementation Advisory Group (DIAG).

The organisation was established in 2002 to advise the UK Government on the energy performance of buildings and the implementation of the European Energy Building Performance Directive.

The requirement for all commercial buildings to have an Energy Performance Certificate came into force on January 1st 2009. You cannot sell or lease your business property without first obtaining an EPC from a registered company like us. Fortunately we will make the process cost effective and simple for you.

Penalties

Trading Standards will enforce certification of existing buildings. Under the Regulations relating to EPCs, there is a civil liability penalty for not providing an EPC.

The penalty comprises a fine of 12.5% of the rateable value of the property (subject to a minimum of £500 and a maximum of £5,000) which can be a re-occurring cost, plus additional enforcement of having an EPC commissioned
