From April 2018, the proposed legislative changes would make it unlawful to let residential or commercial properties with an EPC Rating of F or G (i.e. the lowest2 grades of energy efficiency). This will change in 2025 when all new tenancies will need to have a C rating and on all rented properties by December 2028.

We can re-model your EPC using current software finding out which is your best route to an E rating to ensure compliance for  2018 sometimes accessing grants

This could have very significant implications for landlords, and for occupiers who wish to assign or sublet space, including:

Marketability of some properties would become impossible unless they were upgraded to meet the minimum standards. It is estimated that approximately 20% of non-domestic properties could be in the F & G rating brackets.

Further clarification on the transactional trigger for minimum energy standards is awaited; however the new minimum standards could apply to all lettings and re-lettings, including sub-lettings & assignments.

Valuations of such properties could be affected if their marketability is diminished.

Rent reviews for properties in this situation could also be affected.

Implications for dilapidations assessments would also exist.

Given this risk to property owners and occupiers it is clear that a full understanding of the energy efficiency of your property assets should be attained.

Thereafter owners and occupiers will need to assess the costs and viability of undertaking retrofits or refurbishments, and possibly bringing forward properties for marketing prior to 2018 or re-gearing leases.

Property owners and occupiers should also consider how their property values may be affected.

To order an EPC. Please call us on 01902 324480 07976 377667

We will visit the property at a time that is convenient to you, normally within 48 hours and carry out a full EPC survey. We will assess the property and produce the certificate with 48 hours of this survey. We can then send the certificate by email to yourself, your agent or solicitor.

Please remember that you should organise your EPC before you market your property. You can be fined between £500 and £5,000 based on the rateable value of the building if you don’t make an EPC available to any prospective buyer or tenant.

Domestic EPC prices start from £55.00 and Commercial EPC from £125.00

EPCs are valid for 10 years. After this time landlords are only required to get a new EPC if they are re-letting to a new tenant
