We would bring to your attention to the changes in energy legislation, which requires energy performance certificates (EPC’s) for commercial buildings.
It is the responsibility of the seller to provide an EPC to prospective buyers and should be available at commencement of marketing. Non compliance could result in a fine.
Have your say on EPC's do you have any feedback?

Small Relief From Empty Property Tax
As from 1 April vacant properties with Rateable Values below £15,000 will be exempted from empty rates for a year.When Alistair Darling announced the news in his pre-budget report, he stated that this was great news as 70% of properties had Rateable Values below this threshold. Of course, the Chancellor neglected to tell us that many of these properties were cash machines and advertising hoardings.
Do these changes affect you? We would be interested to hear your comments.
