Client Testimonials

"I couldn’t be more impressed with Greg’s exceptional service! Despite the short notice, he managed to carry out the EPC inspection and prepare the full report all on the same day. His professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail were simply outstanding. Greg made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and swift EPC report – truly five-star service!”

Our Clients

Our team of chartered surveyors and non-domestic energy assessors have spent their entire careers adding value to commercial real estate, and currently serve some of the biggest names in the industry.

Our EPC improvement services have saved our clients over £20m to date. This has been achieved by undertaking professional energy assessments, taking the time to find accurate actual values, rather than rely on inaccurate defaults, which many assessors do. This allows our clients to remove planned CAPEX allocated in their business plans for building upgrades, enhancing viability and improving returns.

Our Approach 

Our unique approach delivers cost-effective EPC’s with the best possible rating.

Our focus is on achieving the highest possible rating for our clients. We achieve this by taking the time to find actual values, rather than rely on default values (which many assessors do).

This approach delivers fantastic results for our clients. We have successfully improved EPC’s from a D rating, to a B rating, without any building upgrades being undertaken.

This in turn improves our clients’ returns, by enabling the removal of allocated CAPEX for building upgrades, removing the time and disruption of works and improving rental levels achieved.

For those buildings that do require upgrades, we provide detailed energy assessments with recommendations aligned with the lifecycle of the building and its systems. We focus on achieving the target rating for the lowest cost and least disruption.

3 - Key benefits of improving an EPC rating

Number one in a black circle

Securing a compliant EPC increases capital value by:

  • Increasing the rent achievable.

  • Removing the risk of obsolescence.

  • Removing CAPEX allocations and uncertainty around the cost of compliance upgrades.

  • Improving liquidity.

Number 2 enclosed in a circle, black background

Ensures compliance with EPC legislation, thereby removing the risk of fines for non-compliance, which can be up to £150,000 per breach, as well as the associated reputational risk of being fined and named.

Taking action now will help avoid major build cost inflation:

  • There are around 2,000,000 commercial buildings in the UK.

  • Over 80% of these buildings are still below an EPC B.

  • This means there are over 1,600,000 commercial buildings in the UK that have not yet instructed the required upgrade works.

  • With less than 5 years left to the 2030 deadline, major build cost inflation is forecast as demand outstrips supply.
