Don’t bury your head in the sand when it comes to EPC
This isn’t just about landlords scrambling to meet new rules; it’s about collaboration. Tenants and landlords need to work together to secure compliance, and that’s exactly why we’re called YOKE (go on, Google it).
MEES forces landlords and occupiers together to avoid the inevitable ‘dash for compliance’ we’re already making it happen across Leeds, Wakefield, Manchester, and Sheffield – with Milton Keynes, Nottingham, and more in the pipeline.
The Business Case for better EPCs
One of our clients put it perfectly; prioritising energy efficiency and sustainability means better rents, better tenants, and better property performance. And they were right, that’s exactly what we see in every project we deliver.
We’re not just ticking compliance boxes… properties with a high specification command a high capital value. Void periods are often shorter. Often the ‘human’ experience inside these properties is better too and its real people that make property decisions and real people that sign leases.
What’s Next?
Do you know what the projected EPC is for your property under the new calculations? Did you know they changed a few years ago meaning gas heating ‘clobbers’ the EPC rating?
Odds on, if you’ve not done an assessment then when the EPC comes up from renewal, you could be well below the minimum B rating.
If you’re a landlord looking to hit those EPC targets, or an occupier wondering how your fit-out might be holding your occupation back, let’s talk. Because when landlords and tenants work together, everyone wins. And at YOKE, that’s exactly what we do. Let’s talk EPCs – the Yoke way.
