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
