At every opportunity we offer our new and existing clients FREE EPC legislative advice as to whether their own property requires an EPC or is exempt. The current EPC law stipulates clearly the following:

“As soon as a building is in the process of being offered for sale, it is the responsibility of the seller to make available an EPC to prospective buyers”

“As soon as a building is in the process of being offered to let, it is the responsibility of the prospective landlord to make available an EPC to prospective tenants”

Any breach of the above is putting the responsible person(s) at risk of an enforceable penalty.

The commercial EPC law stipulates that if a commercial property has a heating systems or cooling system in place it will require a commercial EPC. It will also require an EPC if the property has mechanical ventilation e.g extract fan(s). i.e If the building uses energy to condition the indoor climate it will need an commercial EPC prior to it being marketed.
