Who it’s for
Commercial EPCs for landlords, sellers and agents
Selling or buying premises
A valid Commercial EPC must be in place before a shop, office or unit is marketed for sale. Book early so it does not hold up the listing.

Commercial landlords
Letting offices, shops or industrial units? You need a valid EPC to market the space, and the rating must meet the MEES minimum of E to keep letting.

Agents & property managers
One contact for single units or whole portfolios, with fixed prices by floor area agreed before each visit.

What you need to know about commercial EPCs
When you need one
A Commercial EPC is required when a non-domestic building is sold, let or newly built. It must be available to prospective buyers or tenants when the property is marketed, and it stays valid for 10 years.
The minimum rating to let (MEES)
Since 1 April 2023, landlords cannot continue to let a commercial property rated F or G unless a valid exemption is registered on the PRS Exemptions Register. Breaches can be fined up to £150,000. See our MEES guide.
Fines for not having one
Failing to provide a Commercial EPC when selling or letting carries a penalty of 12.5% of the building’s rateable value, between £500 and £5,000 (£750 where there is no rateable value). More in our commercial EPC compliance guide.
Exemptions
Some buildings do not need one, including places of worship, temporary buildings planned for under two years’ use, stand-alone buildings under 50 m², and some low-energy industrial and agricultural buildings. Exemptions are narrow, so check before relying on one.
Building complexity levels
Commercial buildings are graded Level 3, 4 or 5 by the complexity of their heating, cooling and ventilation. Our assessor is accredited for Levels 3 and 4, which covers most shops, offices and warehouses. For very complex Level 5 buildings, call us first.
What to have ready
Access to every area, including plant rooms and roof plant, plus floor plans and any details of the heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems. Good information makes the assessment quicker and more accurate.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Which premises need a Commercial EPC?⌄
A valid Commercial EPC is generally required when an eligible non-domestic building is sold or let, subject to exemptions. Share the premises type and use and we will confirm the correct route.
How much does a Commercial EPC cost?⌄
Commercial EPCs start from £140 for premises up to 40 m², then rise by total floor area — £165 up to 100 m², £185 up to 200 m², and so on to £350 for 2,000–4,000 m². The full table is above. Over 4,000 m² is quoted on enquiry, and the exact price is always confirmed before the assessment.
How long is a Commercial EPC valid for?⌄
A Commercial EPC is usually valid for 10 years, unless a newer certificate is produced after significant changes to the building.
What evidence may be useful?⌄
Building plans and details of the heating, cooling and lighting systems can help the assessment. Safe access to all relevant areas is also needed.
Do I need a commercial EPC to let my shop or office?⌄
Yes. A valid Commercial EPC must be available when a non-domestic property is marketed to let, and since 1 April 2023 the rating must be E or better to continue letting, unless a valid exemption is registered on the PRS Exemptions Register.
What is the minimum EPC rating for commercial property?⌄
The current legal minimum for letting commercial property in England and Wales is E. Properties rated F or G cannot continue to be let unless a valid exemption is registered. There is no minimum rating for selling.
What is the fine for not having a commercial EPC?⌄
The penalty for failing to provide a Commercial EPC when selling or letting is 12.5% of the rateable value, with a minimum of £500 and a maximum of £5,000 (£750 where there is no rateable value). Separate MEES breaches can be fined up to £150,000.
