SEA Consulting

SEA Consulting Helping you make more informed choices regarding the buying/selling/refurbishment of a building.

At Steve Elphick Associates Ltd, we understand the trials and tribulations of owning/managing commercial property and building services can be one of the harder building elements to understand. Building services can cost up to 50% of a building's refurbishment and can be a large source of outgoings through running costs and maintenance charges. That is why we try to provide professional and personal consultancy so that you can understand your buildings better.

EPC PLUS......

This is where we come in…..

We will need to survey the building, and we will then provide a draft EPC, which will show the current rating. If the rating is below the required ‘E’, we will then re-simulate the building with different scenarios until the building does achieve a rating of an E or above, thus making it compliant. This would then be formulated into a report (EPC +) detailing the most cost-effective way of achieving a compliant rating.
Once any improvements have been carried our we will then re-visit the property and lodge the final EPC showing the new and improved rating.

What is an EPC PLUS?

A commercial or non-domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a certificate which details the energy efficiency of a commercial property. It's not dissimilar to the sticker on a new domestic appliance or even a new car.

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) came into effect as of April 2018, the legislative changes make it unlawful to let residential or commercial properties with an EPC Rating of F or G. Given this risk to property owners and occupiers it is clear that a full understanding of the energy efficiency of your property assets should be attained. Owners will need to assess the costs and viability of undertaking retrofits or refurbishments.

The energy efficiency of your property or Asset Rating is derived by comparing your building to a similar notional building with an added improvement factor based on current Building Regulations. As Building Regulations become more demanding (including software changes) so too will your Asset Rating become lower (i.e. worse) however this is not the only reason.

Now is the time to start improving your Asset Rating and in turn save money.

Have you found a commercial property that you are looking to lease or invest in?

This can be a big undertaking for a potential buyer or investor, which will almost certainly have some hidden costs and long term liabilities, which you will be responsible for. This is especially true when talking about the building services which degrade over time.

Before any paperwork is signed, you need to understand what you're investing in. One essential step to alleviate stress and understand your future obligations and financial risk is to get a pre-acquisition survey, both on the properties structure and the installed building services.

Acquisition surveys are one of the best ways to get critical information on the state of a property and its installed services, with all present and potential problems being highlighted

A lot of buildings we survey are also as we call 'shells' so they haven't been finished as yet...once they are done ready for a new tenant we can then survey them, provide an EPC rating and the building can be let or sold.
