EPC B Readiness Tool
Work in asset rating points, not letters. Enter an asset — or load its certificate straight from the EPC Register — to see the current band, the points gap to EPC B, the indicative cost of closing it, and the order in which measures should be prioritised.
Load the asset from the EPC Register
Optional. Searching the MHCLG non-domestic register pulls the lodged asset rating score, floor area and heating fuel so the assessment starts from certificate data rather than an estimate.
Important — indicative outputs only
This tool applies generic UK non-domestic benchmarks to the inputs you supply. It is not an EPC assessment, an SBEM or dynamic simulation model, a survey, a cost plan or professional advice. Asset rating movements and costs vary materially with fabric, plant, occupancy, grid capacity, planning constraints and procurement route.
Regulatory position: the minimum standard in force for continued letting of commercial property in England and Wales is EPC band E. The EPC B standard for privately rented non-domestic buildings above 1,000 m² is a policy proposal set out in the DESNZ June 2026 Interim Response and requires secondary legislation before it takes effect. Nothing here should be read as a statement that EPC B is currently law.
NZC Consultants accepts no liability for decisions taken on the basis of this tool. Engage a qualified assessor before committing capital.
