Non-Domestic or Commercial EPCs

The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) came into force in 2009. An Energy Performance Certificate must be provided for all commercial property on the market. The landlord or seller must provide the Energy Performance Certificate free to all potential buyers or tenants.

Local Trading Standards can fine the property owner between £500 and £5,000. EPCs are legally required before every commercial transaction can be completed. To avoid a fine or a delay, please contact us.

Domestic EPCs

These are required by statute for all homes being sold, built or rented. Domestic EPCs are required even where Home information Packs are not.

Asbestos Reports

epc brighton employs fully qualified surveyors and can arrange all types of asbestos survey. We commission reports on asbestos levels to comply with the legislation. There is a Duty to Manage asbestos in properties and a survey is required when a commercial property is sold or let.

Floor Plans

We provide Land Registry compliant lease plans and plans suitable for property marketing.

Fire Risk Assessments

epc brighton can arrange these assessments. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) requires a fire safety risk assessment. The FSO applies to all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, including houses in multiple occupation. It falls on ‘the responsible person’ to comply.

HIPs (Home Information Packs)

A HIP (Home Information Pack) provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the seller or the seller's agent. It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you cannott market your property without one. Each HIP contains a Domestic Energy Performance Certificate.
