Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2002 as implemented by the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2007 have introduced a requirement that, from 1 October 2008, all commercial properties constructed, sold or rented in the UK must have a Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when they are marketed. Failure to provide a Commercial EPC can result in a fine of 12.5% of the rateable value of the building up to a maximum of £5,000.
An EPC provides an energy rating for a building based on a survey of the performance potential of, amongst other things, the building fabric, materials of construction and services (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting).
A building is rated from A to G (with A being the most efficient and G the least). The EPC comes to a client in an easy-to-understand graph format similar to that found on a range of domestic appliances, such as fridges and washing machines. Under current regulations the EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

Prices for commercial EPCs will vary according to the size and complexity of the building assessed as well as several other factors including whether the EPC is required in an emergency situation. Our fees are very competitive regardless of the property to be assessed and we strive to beat any genuine quote.
