PRESS RELEASE

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Comes into force in the commercial property world.

As from 1st October 2008 in England & Wales all commercial property transactions, sale, lease or letting will require an Energy Performance Certificate (Epc).

This is a European Union Directive administered by the government that owners & landlords of any commercial property have to provide this information. The certificate must be provided to any intending purchaser or tenant who wishes to acquire freehold, leasehold or lets most commercial properties.

In general terms the certificate / report outlines the energy performance levels of a commercial building in order to indicate how the property performs for energy. The report & certificate rates the building on a scale of A (low) to G (high). Advice is also given how to improve the energy efficiency of the building.

Firstly the certificate will be required by your estate / commercial agent for sales details and marketing. The information needs to be available for purchasers / leaseholders alike.
