Further to this, some banks and other financial institutions require a valid EPC to be in place for a building having finance raised against it.<\/p>\n<p>From April 2023, a new requirement is being introduced for the non-domestic PRS. As of 1st April 2023 all let buildings, whether a new lease is being singed or not, must have a valid EPC in place of an E rating or better.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How much does a commercial EPC cost?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]Costs vary for commercial EPCs, as do commercial buildings themselves. An indication of costs is in the order of a few hundred pounds, this is very much dependent on size and type of building.<\/p>\n<p>Fees start from approx. \u00a3200 plus VAT for a small single building. Larger buildings and portfolios of properties are considered on a case-by-case basis, and we offer fees following discussions with the clients and assessing their requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We offer an initial assessment of a building or portfolio &#8211; we will then provide the client knowledge of how their buildings rate and offer help to improve the EPC rating, taking into account future tightening of regulations, thus allowing our clients foresight and assurances that the properties will be compliant and allowing them to be legally let.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What is the fine for not having an EPC?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]The vendor has 21 days for the carrying out of the necessary inspections by the commissioned contractor and the provision of the EPC itself, but if these provisions are breached, the vendor can be fined between \u00a3500 and \u00a35,000 based on the rateable value of the building.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How do I get my commercial EPC certificate?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]Instructing a commercial EPC couldn\u2019t be simpler, simply email the building address to info@energyreport.co.uk.

Further to this, there is a minimum EPC rating that let non-domestic budlings are required to meet. The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015 establish a minimum level of energy efficiency for privately rented property in England and Wales, from 1st April 2018, landlords of privately rented property in England or Wales must ensure that their properties reach at least an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E before granting a new tenancy to new or existing tenants.<\/p>\n<p>This requirement is due to be extended to all let non-domestic buildings on 1st April 2023. Further to this, the longer-term requirements have been announced to raise the minimum rating from E to C by April 2027 and then to B by 2030.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long is a commercial EPC valid for?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]Non-domestic EPCs are valid for a period of 10 years from issue, due to changes in the EPC rating system in June 2022, many older EPC rating may have changed. Research carried out by Elmhurst Energy, one of the largest EPC accreditation schemes, identified that there is potential for EPC rating for commercial buildings to either jump or be cut by recent changes to the energy modelling software criteria used to produce EPCs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmhurstenergy.co.uk\/blog\/2022\/06\/01\/non-domestic-epcs-could-jump-from-an-e-to-c-under-new-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">A link to the article can be found here<\/a>.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can you sell a commercial property without an EPC?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]You must have an EPC if you sell the premises The EPC should be organised before the property is marketed, as the regulations provide that the EPC must be commissioned prior to, or within seven days of the property being put on the market.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">EPC Improvement Report<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How do we do it?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]We offer in-depth, bespoke energy information about your property that offers both short-term, and long-term options and opportunities for your premises.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Why should you talk to us?&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"printable\"><span class=\"printable\">We turn an EPC into a blueprint that will offer you countless opportunities to improve premises, as well as discover and offer solutions for any current issues.<\/span><span class=\"printable\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"printable\"><span class=\"printable\">Compliant EPCs are a legal requirement &#8211; it is becoming even more important for government targets, property investors and tenants to have efficient buildings.\u00a0 By partnering with us, you can ensure you don\u2019t have to worry about compliance for a second.
