EPC Risk Profiling

Following the Energy Act 2011 and its provisions affecting owners and occupiers within property there is a real need for EPC risk profiling. Probably the most significant are the minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES)

As of April 2018, the proposed legislative changes make it unlawful to let residential or commercial properties with an EPC rating of “F” or “G” (i.e. the lowest 2 grades of energy efficiency) for new leases or lease renewals. From 2023 this legislation will impact on all existing commercial leases, already in place on domestic leases since April 2020.
