❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Commercial EPCs

What is a Commercial EPC?

A Commercial EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a document that shows how energy efficient a non-domestic building is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It’s required by law when selling, leasing, or constructing a commercial property.

Do I legally need a Commercial EPC?

Yes — if you’re selling, letting, or building a non-domestic property, you must have a valid Commercial EPC before marketing or completion. Failure to provide one can result in fines of up to £5,000.

How long does a Commercial EPC last?

A Commercial EPC is valid for 10 years, unless the building is modified in a way that affects its energy performance (e.g., changes to insulation, heating, or ventilation).

How much does a Commercial EPC cost?

Prices vary based on the size, complexity, and type of building. At Assessment Hive, we offer clear, fixed pricing with no hidden fees. Visit our Commercial EPC Cost Guide for more details.

How long does the assessment take?

Most site visits take between 1 to 3 hours, depending on building size and layout. You’ll usually receive your EPC certificate within 24–48 hours after the assessment.

What buildings are exempt from needing an EPC?

Some buildings are exempt, including:

• Places of worship

• Temporary structures used less than 2 years

• Industrial sites with low energy demand

• Detached buildings under 50m² not for sale or rent

Not sure? Contact us — we’ll confirm if your property qualifies for an exemption.

Can a low EPC rating affect my property?

Yes. A rating of F or G can impact your ability to legally let the property under MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards). We provide guidance on improving EPC ratings to stay compliant and reduce energy costs.
