Does a landlord need to renew an expired Energy Performance certificate (EPC)? By Tony Wilson The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 replaced the original 2007 regulations. It’s a legal requirement to have an EPC freely available when advertising for sale or let that meets a minimum E rating, unless there’s a valid exemption. If, during the tenancy the EPC expires, landlords don’t have to renew. This will not impact serving a valid section 21 notice. This does not prevent landlords renewing the EPC to be prepared for an unforeseen relet or to appreciate the current rating to upgrade.    #lettings #estateagents #training #cpd    

💡 When are EPCs required? 💡 There are numerous reasons a building may require an Energy Performance Certificate: 💡 The property is being bought, sold or leased, or has recently finished construction. 💡 The building seeks to obtain a government subsidy. 💡 As part of a corporate energy strategy.

Think your commercial property is safe from new EPC and MEES requirements? Think again. 🏢 It's a common misconception that proposed increases to minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) scores only affect new builds. In reality, the changes will apply to all commercial buildings - new and existing. If your property doesn't achieve a C rating or higher, you won't be able to rent it out, regardless of its age. The choice is clear: invest in creating a greener, more efficient building or risk losing out on rental income. Learn how our Energy Feasibility solution can help you navigate these changes and protect your returns.

🌆 The Clock's Ticking on MEES & EPC Changes ⏰ As a commercial landlord or property owner, significant changes to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are fast approaching. From 2025, you won't be able to rent out properties with an EPC rating lower than a 'C'. This change is driven by the UK's commitment to net zero targets by 2030 and 2050, aiming to reduce the 23% carbon emissions from commercial buildings in the built environment. Meeting these standards is crucial if you wish to avoid hitting a financial cliff edge. However, with the complexity of EPCs, compliance can seem daunting. Many service providers push for maximum work, leaving landlords with vague timelines and inflated costs. How will these impending changes affect you and your properties? We'd love to hear your thoughts. ✅ #CreateGreenerBuildings ✅ #CommercialLandlords ✅ #PropertyOwners For more information, visit https://magrec.co.uk

🚨 Warning for UK based Real Estate Landlords! 🚨 In June 2022, updates were made to the EPC calculation methodology; these changes are typically seeing worsening of EPCs for gas buildings and do not comply with the latest building regulations. Typically, non-domestic properties of this type can experienced a 1-grade drop (i.e. 'D' to an 'E') when the EPC is renewed with the updated methodology. Q) Do you have EPC's produced before June 2022? Q) Do you have an EPC about to expire that need renewal? This could impact you, even if you have done upgrade works but not removed gas. Q) Do you have a commercial building that is currently an EPC E, that would be at risk of dropping to an F - impacted by #MEES? Q) Have your tenants completed a fit-out in your hold period? - how will you navigate if their fit-out negatively impacted your EPC score; or the calculation methodology has? Q) Do you have funding or investor contracts to uphold a certain EPC rating that might be impacted when you renew your EPC? Dive into the briefing note below for all the details.
