Commercial landlords

Protect lettability, value and the service charge.

EPC ratings now affect whether you can let a building, what it is worth and what lenders will offer. We give each building a costed plan, measure the supplies you pay for, and help you recover what you shouldn’t have been charged.

Sound familiar?

What we hear most

EPC risk

An E minimum today, EPC B proposed from 2031 for larger buildings, and buildings with lease events in between.

Landlord supplies

Common-area, void and shared-plant supplies paid by you or recharged through the service charge, often without anyone checking them.

Tenant questions

Occupiers asking for energy data, recharge evidence and their own ESG figures.

Billing errors

Supplies on the wrong tariff, VAT or levies applied incorrectly, and meters still billing after a building changes use.

FAQ

Commercial landlords: common questions

What are the MEES rules for commercial property right now?

In England and Wales you can’t continue to let a privately rented non-domestic property rated F or G unless a valid exemption is registered. The government proposes EPC B from 2031 for buildings over 1,000 m², where cost-effective; that still needs secondary legislation. The earlier EPC C by 2027 proposal has been dropped. More on our MEES page.

Can you monitor a supply that is recharged to tenants?

Yes. A reader on the landlord or shared supply measures what is actually used, so recharges are based on evidence rather than estimates. We agree what is measured and how it is reported with you before installation.

Do you work across a whole portfolio?

Yes. We can start with the buildings carrying the most EPC or cost risk, and price route-maps and certificates at portfolio rates.

Do you cover Scotland?

MEES applies to England and Wales. Scotland has its own rules for non-domestic buildings. Tell us where your properties are and we’ll advise.
