EPC's
Required by law to rent out your property. Valid 10 years.
An EPC is a document which shows the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a property. The property is given a rating between A and G and this is displayed on a chart which looks very similar to the energy rating given to domestic appliances such as fridges and washing machines. The EPC is provided as part of an energy report which highlights recommendations for increasing the energy efficiency of the property and reducing the carbon emissions and it includes an estimate of how much these changes may cost.

Commercial EPC
Valid for 10 years.
Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are surveys that determines how energy efficient a building or commercial property. The ratings on a commercial EPC start from G (least energy efficient), going up to an A for the most energy efficient building. The EPC certificate is very accurate and that makes it very important for any type of establishment. Commercial EPCs are valid for 10 years from the time when they are lodged or generated. If you are looking to rent or sell the commercial premises or the building has just been constructed then a commercial EPC is required by UK legistlation.
