A commercial EPC enquiry depends on the premises, services and transaction
A non-domestic EPC is not just a domestic EPC with a different label. Commercial premises can include separate units, shop fronts, offices above retail, restaurants with plant areas, warehouses, studios, mixed-use buildings, communal access and fixed building services. The assessor route depends on the complexity and features of the building.
The best enquiry explains why the certificate is needed: new letting, sale, lease renewal, estate agent request, managing agent file, lender query, MEES review, expired certificate or changes to heating, cooling, ventilation or separate occupation. That makes it easier to confirm what access is needed and whether an existing register record should be checked first.

Need a commercial EPC with other compliance checks?
Commercial EPC enquiries often sit beside gas, electrical, fire alarm, emergency lighting and wider landlord certificate work. Mention every certificate needed at the start so keys, tenant access and site contacts can be coordinated.

Non-domestic EPC FAQs
What is a non-domestic EPC?
A non-domestic EPC rates the energy performance of a commercial or non-dwelling building, such as a shop, office, restaurant, warehouse, workshop, surgery, salon or mixed-use commercial unit. The certificate helps buyers, tenants, landlords and managing agents understand the building rating and recommendations.
When does a commercial property need an EPC?
GOV.UK explains that a business premises EPC is needed when premises are rented out or sold, when a building under construction is finished, and when certain changes are made to parts used for separate occupation involving fixed heating, air conditioning or mechanical ventilation systems.
Is a non-domestic EPC the same as a domestic EPC?
No. A domestic EPC is for homes. A non-domestic EPC is for commercial and other non-dwelling premises, and the assessor route depends on the building complexity, features and services. A shop below flats, office suite or warehouse should not be treated as a standard home EPC enquiry.
How long is a non-domestic EPC valid?
GOV.UK states that EPCs are valid for 10 years. A newer assessment may still be useful if the building has changed, services have been altered, the premises are being marketed, or the current certificate does not reflect the space being let or sold.
What is non-domestic MEES?
Current GOV.UK guidance for non-domestic private rented property is based on the minimum energy efficiency standard of EPC band E, unless a valid exemption is registered. Since 1 April 2023, this has applied to all privately rented non-domestic properties covered by the regulations.
What details should I send before booking?
Send the postcode, business type, floor area if known, number of units, access contact, lease or sale deadline, existing EPC link, meter or plant-room access notes and whether fixed heating, air conditioning or mechanical ventilation is present.
