What is a commercial EPC?+
A non-domestic Energy Performance Certificate rating the energy efficiency of a commercial building from A to G, together with a recommendations report.
How long is a commercial EPC valid?+
Commercial EPCs are generally valid for 10 years, though a newer certificate supersedes an older one for the same property.
When is a commercial EPC required?+
Typically on completion of a new-build, on marketing for sale, on grant of a new lease, and to evidence MEES compliance where applicable.
How long does an assessment take?+
Site time depends on building size and complexity. Simple retail units can be surveyed in an hour or two; larger and more complex buildings take longer. Turnaround from survey to lodged certificate depends on the assessment level and completeness of documentation.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?+
We arrange assessments nationwide, subject to property type, location and assessor availability. Regulations and registers differ between England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — we flag the distinctions.
Do you publish prices online?+
No. Every commercial property is different, so we review the requirements before providing a tailored quotation. Contact us with the property details for a quote.
Can you handle a whole portfolio?+
Yes. Our multi-site service coordinates assessments across regional and national portfolios with a single point of contact and consolidated document delivery.
What does a poor rating mean?+
Where a property rates F or G, options include improving the rating via the recommendations report, registering a valid MEES exemption, or reviewing the marketing strategy. Our team can help interpret the report.
