How the Energy Act Affects You Tuesday, 28th April 2015

The Energy Act 2011 changes regarding minimum energy efficiency standards have now come into force through the Energy Efficiency Regulations 2015.

You should be aware that the Energy Act 2011 contains a clause with severe implications for 18% of all commercial property effecting:-

• New transactions – From 1st April 2018 both domestic and commercial properties cannot be re-let (or leases renewed) if they have ‘F’ or ‘G’ EPC rating. New freehold purchasers will have 6 months from the purchase date to implement energy efficiency improvements.

• All property leases – From 1st April 2020 for domestic properties; and from 1st April 2023 for commercial properties.
