Commercial Energy Performance Certificates
A Commercial EPC evaluates the energy efficiency of commercial properties like offices and shops. Issued by a professional assessor, it educates buyers and tenants on potential energy expenses and identifies areas for energy-saving opportunities to reduce consumption.
Commercial EPCs are a legal requirement when selling or renting business premises in the UK. They ensure buildings are energy efficient and must be provided before marketing begins. Failure to comply can result in fines or trading standards enforcement action.
Commercial EPCs support the UK’s vision to reduce carbon emissions. It prompts owners of property to invest in energy efficiency improvements, leading to more sustainable commercial buildings and lower energy bills, environmental responsibility, and enhanced long-term business performance in London.

Who Needs a Commercial EPC?
Obtaining an EPC is mandatory for landlords, tenants, business proprietors, and letting and selling agents of commercial premises in London. A valid EPC ensures that one complies with the energy regulations and controls the energy cost and sustainability measures on any commercial property.
EPCs for Offices, Shops, and Industrial Units
Commercial EPCs are needed for nearly all types of premises, ranging from offices and retail premises to industrial units. Whether your business premises are big or small, or whatever their purpose, EICR CERT provides bespoke EPC surveys to meet your unique property. We make it simple and convenient for all commercial property owners and managers.

If you own a subdivided property or one used for different business purposes, you need EPCs for each as well. We specialize in handling complex setups and multi-purpose properties and ensure that each portion is compliant. EICR CERT offers clear and accurate EPCs for any subdivided commercial property to provide seamless compliance.
When is a Commercial EPC Required?
A Commercial EPC is required when a commercial property is being sold or rented out. A valid Commercial EPC is also needed when constructing new commercial buildings or when significant renovations affecting the energy usage are undertaken. It is a requirement by law to ensure transparency about the energy efficiency of a building.
Regulatory Requirements in England and Wales
In London and across England and Wales, business EPCs are governed by law like MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards). MEES requires rental properties to achieve a minimum E rating on an EPC to legally rent. This forces landlords to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact.
Understanding Scottish Regulations
Scottish commercial EPC regulations differ slightly, with individual rating levels and deadlines. Companies operating all across the UK must be informed of these variations in order to maintain compliance in Scotland, for example, the law for new tenancies that require them to have a minimum EPC rating of C by 2025.
What Happens During an EPC Assessment?
A professional inspector visits your business property and inspects its energy efficiency during an EPC inspection. They examine key factors like heating, insulation, lighting, and ventilation. They collect data to evaluate the extent to which the building uses energy and identify areas that need improvement. With this, they create an accurate EPC report to keep your property compliant with the code and energy efficient.
Duration of the Survey & Site Visit Expectations
The EPC survey will take between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the building. Throughout the day, the assessor will need access to the entire property, including heating and electrical systems. They will carry out a close inspection with minimal disruption to your business.
Data Collected to Generate the EPC
Our EICR CERT inspectors gather precise information on your property, including insulation performance, heating and cooling installations, types of lighting, types of windows and glazing, and ventilation. This data is used to calculate the building’s energy performance rating and the areas where action can save money and reduce the environmental footprint.
How Is the EPC Report Used?
The EPC report shows your commercial property’s energy rating from A (most energy-efficient) to G (least efficient). It tells you how energy-efficient your building is and where it can improve. You can use the report to plan for improvements, save energy expenses, and meet legal requirements for selling or renting out your property.
Where to Find or View an Existing EPC
You may search for a current EPC online on the government’s EPC register by inputting the property address. If you struggle with locating or procuring a certificate, our EICR CERT team will assist you promptly and effectively so that you possess the papers in your hand for compliance.
How EPC Data Informs Decisions
EPC information enables landlords and business owners to make informed investment and improvement decisions for a property. It has the power to impact renovation schemes, influence the value of a property, and enable compliance with legislation. Wise use of this information equates to cost reduction and a cleaner, more sustainable building.
The Benefits of a Commercial EPC
It has real advantages to have a solid Commercial EPC rating. It saves energy bills by indicating how to become more efficient. A good rating will enhance your property value and make it simpler to let or sell. This saves time and money and helps your business in its sustainability and compliance goals.
Avoid Fines & Legal Penalties
Without a valid Commercial EPC, you will face fines and legal consequences. The sale or rental of commercial premises is legally subject to an EPC. Without it, purchases can be held up or denied, costing you time and money. Keeping your EPC current with EICR CERT keeps you out of trouble and ensures smooth, lawful property transactions every time.
Improve Building Marketability
A better EPC rating makes your commercial property more desirable to buyers and tenants. Energy-efficient properties cut operating costs and are green-friendly, something that most companies now require. A good rating can set your property apart in an oversaturated market so that you can find higher-quality tenants and close deals sooner with greater confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Commercial EPC London
How long is a Commercial EPC valid for?
A Commercial EPC remains valid for 10 years from the date of issue. However, if you make substantial changes to the building affecting the energy use by the building, e.g., major renovation or installing new heating systems, you need to get a new EPC to reflect the alterations. Otherwise, the certificate remains valid and can be used to let or sell the building within that period.
What happens if I don’t get an EPC for my commercial property?
Not having a valid EPC when you need one can lead to fines and legal penalties. It can also cause delays or complications when selling or leasing out your business premises because the majority of buyers and lessees will ask for it. To avoid these issues, it’s worth getting an EPC for your property that complies with regulations before any sale.
Can you handle multi-unit or mixed-use buildings?
Yes, we carry out standard inspections and assessments of complex commercial properties, including mixed-use and multi-unit properties. If your property is subdivided into industrial units, offices, or retail units, we can carry out the whole assessment. Professional expertise from our side guarantees that each and every section is thoroughly examined to deliver accurate and compliant EPC reports to reflect your building’s complex nature.
How soon will I receive my Commercial EPC?
You can expect to receive your Commercial EPC within 24 to 48 hours of assessment. We make every possible effort to provide fast turnaround times without losing precision, allowing you to go ahead with renting, selling, or compliance uses at an accelerated pace. Digital certificates are issued via email for ease and convenience.
Are there exemptions to Commercial EPC requirements?
Some types of property can be exempt from requiring a Commercial EPC, including listed buildings, temporary structures, or places of worship. Exemptions are determined by various factors including property details and local regulations. If you are not sure if your property is eligible, we provide case-by-case advice to ensure you understand your requirements and do not waste money on unnecessary surveys.
