Are you a tenant? - Considering a tenancy? From October 1st 2008, Commercial EPCs become mandatory for all newly constructed, sale or rented commercial buildings. What do you need to do? contact our HIPs team at Whitchurch. Remember also that landlords renting domestic properties will also need a Domestic EPC and it is the landlord’s responsibility to provide it. We also offer a HIPs service, and all for under £300 ! contact David Ryder at 01948 663361 or david.ryder@henrylees.co.ukThen did you know there are statutory rights protecting tenants.
