UPGRADE MY EPC

We deliver a full range of cost-effective

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

services for commercial buildings.

Our team of chartered surveyors and non-domestic energy assessors have spent their entire careers

adding value to commercial real estate, working for some of the biggest names in the industry. 

Clients

Undertake a detailed site survey. Build an energy model to provide the current baseline EPC using current methodology and carbon factors.

OUR APPROACH

Our unique approach delivers cost-effective EPC improvements through detailed energy assessments and advanced building surveys, maximising baseline ratings to reduce upgrade costs. 

We have successfully upgraded buildings from as low as EPC D to a compliant EPC B, unlocking greater value and long-term efficiency. 

Our project management enables us to provide an integrated EPC improvement service, guaranteeing landlords that the CAPEX they spend will result in the successful achievement of the target EPC.

By managing the entire process, we eliminate the risk of non-compliant works, giving our clients confidence that all improvements will achieve the targeted EPC rating.

3 Crucial Reasons to Instruct Today

Securing a compliant EPC increases capital value by:

  • Increasing the rent achievable.

  • Removing the risk of obsolescence.

  • Removing uncertainty around the cost of compliance upgrades.

  • Improving liquidity.

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 reputational risk. 

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 only 5 years left to the 2030 deadline, major build cost inflation is forecast as demand outstrips supply.
