Existing Building EPC
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for existing commercial buildings, providing a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). EPCs reflect how a building uses energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation, helping owners, buyers, or tenants understand expected running costs and environmental impact.
Energy Performance for Property Sales
When selling a property, an EPC ensures transparency and compliance with regulations. It highlights the building’s energy efficiency, allowing buyers to plan for energy costs and make informed decisions. Providing an EPC early in the sales process can also showcase improvements or upgrades that enhance energy performance and overall property value.
Energy Performance for Lettings
For lettings, an EPC demonstrates compliance with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and informs tenants about energy usage and costs. Landlords must provide a valid certificate before marketing a property to ensure legal compliance. EPCs also help identify areas where energy efficiency improvements could reduce operational costs over time.

MEES Compliance
The UK’s MEES regulations require all rented properties to meet a minimum EPC rating of E or better, with future targets increasing to C by 2027 and B by 2030. Non-compliance can lead to substantial penalties, so obtaining an accurate, professionally prepared EPC is essential for landlords managing their commercial or residential portfolios.
How We Work
Our team carries out a detailed site inspection, reviewing construction details, energy systems, insulation, glazing, and ventilation. Using this information, we produce an accurate EPC with practical recommendations for improving efficiency. Certificates are lodged directly with the Government Register and supplied to clients in a clear, compliant format.
Improving Energy Performance
An EPC is not just a compliance document, it’s a benchmark for energy efficiency. Our reports highlight areas where energy savings can be achieved, from upgrading insulation or windows to implementing efficient heating and cooling systems. Following our recommendations can reduce running costs, enhance comfort, and help properties meet current and future regulatory standards.
