Commercial Energy Performance Certificates for London Businesses and Landlords
Commercial real estate deals move fast. Problems with obtaining a valid EPC can delay sales, tenancy agreements, refinancing applications and property marketing activities. This is why many landlords, managing agents and business owners prefer to have their commercial EPC assessment arranged before a property goes on the market. Our service is designed to simplify the compliance process and provide property owners with accurate information about their building’s energy performance.
Fast, Accurate and Fully Compliant Commercial EPC Assessments: All commercial EPC appraisals are carried out by a qualified and accredited commercial EPC assessor. During the inspection we look at key elements of the building affecting energy efficiency such as heating systems, cooling systems, ventilation, insulation, lighting, glazing, building fabric and renewable energy installations where appropriate. The data that is collected during the survey is used to create an official commercial EPC certificate and recommendation report. On completion the certificate is lodged on the relevant government EPC register. We aim to provide accurate assessments, practical advice and full compliance with current commercial EPC standards.
Commercial EPCs for Single Properties and Large Portfolios: Our clients include individual landlords as well as large property management companies overseeing multiple commercial buildings across London. Whether you need an EPC for a single retail unit or ongoing support across a large portfolio, we can help you coordinate inspections in a timely manner whilst keeping consistent reporting standards. Many portfolio landlords use commercial EPC assessments as part of wider compliance planning, helping them to identify properties which may need future energy efficiency improvements to remain compliant with evolving regulations.
Supporting Landlords, Agents, Developers and Business Owners: Different property stakeholders often have different objectives. A landlord may need a commercial EPC certificate to comply with letting regulations. A developer may require EPC documentation for a newly completed building. A commercial agent may need an EPC before marketing a property. A business owner may simply want to understand how energy costs can be reduced. Our team regularly works with: Commercial landlords, Property management companies, Estate and letting agents, Property developers, Investors, Facilities managers, Business owners, Housing associations, Public sector organisations. This broad experience allows us to provide practical guidance tailored to the specific needs of each client.
Accredited Assessors and Official EPC Register Lodgement: It is also important to choose an experienced commercial EPC assessor. The quality of the assessment may have a direct impact on the accuracy of the final rating and the usefulness of the recommendations. All assessments are carried out at Liviosiv by qualified professionals working to the current EPC methodology and government requirements. When finished, your commercial EPC certificate is officially lodged on the government EPC register providing recognised proof of compliance to prospective tenants, buyers, lenders and enforcement authorities.

What Is a Commercial EPC? A Commercial Energy Performance Certificate, commonly referred to as a Commercial EPC, is an official document that measures and rates the energy efficiency of a commercial building. The certificate provides an energy rating ranging from A to G, with A representing the most energy-efficient properties and G representing the least efficient. Understanding Commercial Energy Performance Certificates:A commercial EPC provides an independent assessment of how efficiently a commercial property uses energy. The assessment takes into account various building components and services that influence energy consumption.The final certificate includes: An energy efficiency rating from A to G, A carbon emissions rating, Estimated energy performance information, Recommendations for improving efficiency, Details of the property’s current energy characteristics. The certificate allows prospective tenants and buyers to compare properties more easily while helping property owners understand where improvements may be beneficial.
