EPC’s GET TOUGH
The changes to the European Union’s Energy Performance in Building Directive (EPBD) are slipping into legislation without the usual fanfare however this far-reaching and highly influential mandate is the backbone for improving energy efficiency and will form the basis for many pieces of UK legislation.
From April 2018 Landlord’s will be unable to offer Commercial Property over 500sm with an EPC Rating of F-G for either sale or rent. Fines of upto £150,000 will be imposed on Landlord’s not complying with the legislation.
Our Client’s have achieved EPC Rating Compliance together with Premium Rents by refurbishing commercial properties such as
- 24 Britton Street
- Sutton Yard,
- Spitfire Studios
- 50 Great Sutton Street
- 25bVyner Street
- 54 Ayres Street and
- Berry Street
We look forward to assisting current and future clients to get ahead of the market as it has been suggested that these properties may form up to 35% of the existing non-domestic property portfolio!
