Non-Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Since the 1st October 2008 all Commercial (Non-Domestic) Properties require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when being sold or let. This is a legal requirement which is being enforced by Trading Standards, with fines of up to £5000 for non-compliance.
An EPC can provide details to include:
- An inspection of your building's construction, use, orientation, heating, air conditioning, hot water systems, lighting and controls.
- A copy of the certificate which will also have been lodged through our accredited body with the accompanying recommendations report.
Commercial Properties range from; offices, warehouses, factories, retail units, public houses, nursing homes, cafes, residential homes, court buildings, theatres, cinemas, prisons, hotels, hospitals, clinics, libraries, museums, galleries, schools, colleges and universities.
Note-An EPC is required BEFORE a property is placed on the market
Commercial EPC Exemption-Situations where an EPC is not required:

EPC's are not required on sale or rent for buildings due to be demolished.
