Commercial EPCs

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive came into effect in 2008 and has had a major impact on the UK property industry for new developments, sales or lettings, requiring the provision of commercial Energy Performance Certificates - Commercial EPCs.

The legislation states that property developers, landlords and owners in England and Wales are not able to construct, sell or lease a commercial building without providing an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to a prospective buyer or tenant. Non-compliance will result in failure to complete conveyancing or possible action by Trading Standards Officers, including the risk of incurring fines of up to £5,000.
 
The Vinden Partnership is accredited to provide Energy Performance Certificates for commercial buildings which are to be rented out, leased or sold.
