Commercial Energy Performance Certificates are the legal responsibility of the building owner (or landlord in relation to a lease).
It is important that Commercial Energy Performance Certificates are sourced in good time, before written (including electronic) details are provided to prospective buyers or tenants and before any viewings are conducted.
If you fail to obtain a Commercial Energy Performance Certificate solicitors are likely to refuse to complete a sale or lease and you can be fined (fines can range between £500 and £5,000).
The cost of obtaining Commercial Energy Performance Certificates can vary considerably depending on the complexity of the property and the urgency.
