If you own, lease, or manage a commercial property in London, you may need a Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to stay legally compliant in 2026. Fast EPC services help businesses avoid delays when selling, renting, or renewing leases.

A Commercial EPC is a legal requirement in the United Kingdom for most non-domestic buildings before they can be marketed.

 What Is a Commercial EPC?

A Commercial EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rates how energy efficient a business property is.

It gives a rating from:

  • A (most efficient)
    to
  • G (least efficient)

It also includes:

  • Energy usage estimates
  • Carbon emission levels
  • Recommendations for efficiency improvements

👉 It helps tenants and buyers understand running costs before committing.

 Which Commercial Properties Need an EPC?

Most non-residential buildings require an EPC, including:

  • Offices
  • Retail shops
  • Warehouses
  • Restaurants & cafés
  • Industrial units
  • Mixed-use buildings

👉 If the property is being sold or rented, an EPC is usually mandatory.

 Why Do You Need a Commercial EPC?

In the UK, a Commercial EPC is required before:

  • Selling a business property
  • Renting or leasing commercial space
  • Advertising a commercial building

Without a valid EPC:

  • Property listings may be blocked
  • Transactions can be delayed
  • You may face compliance penalties
