Commercial Energy Performance Certificate
We provide Same Day EPC
Get your Commercial Property's EPC on the Same Day 

Obtaining an energy performance certificate is a legal requirement in the UK. However, obtaining an EPC certificate can be beneficial for the owner.

An EPC is easy to grasp at a glance and will give you recommendations on how to improve the building’s energy efficiency. This will allow any prospective buyers or tenants to see (and action) anything that needs to be done in the future to make it more energy efficient.

Once your EPC has been completed and you have your grading, it will last for 10 years. This is the same as a domestic EPC. It will be unique to your specific address and will not need to be carried out again unless you make significant changes to the building.

How long does a Commercial EPC last?

Once your commercial EPC has been done, it will last for 10 years . It will be unique to your specific address and will not need to be carried out again unless you make significant changes to the building.

Yes, some commercial properties don't need an EPC, such as places of worship, temporary buildings used for less than 2 years, stand-alone properties under 50m², buildings set for demolition, and low energy demand buildings like barns. Check with a specialist if you think your property is exempt.

Are there penalties for not getting a Certificate?

If you fail to obtain a commercial EPC, you could be legible to pay a fine of between £500 and £5000. In most cases, this fine is 12.5% of the rateable value of the property, or at a default value of £750 when this cannot be calculated. The penalty amount is capped at £5000. You can legally market the commercial building once that you have booked your EPC, even if you don’t have it yet. Proof that you have booked your assessment is sufficient.

What happens during the assessor’s visit? The amount of time that our energy assessor will be at your commercial property depends on how big it is, and the degree of access that they have to the building.

The energy assessor will look at a number of factors in the building, including:

• The building area size

• Lighting

• Cavity wall and loft insulation

• Hot water and central heating systems

• Energy efficiency of the windows

• Ventilation
