Tax / regulatory · UK
UK statutory energy rating, A-G scale.
Statutory in the UK at lease and sale. Since 2023, commercial property cannot be let with an EPC rating below E (extending to C in 2027 and B in 2030 — subject to confirmation). EPC ratings now drive a measurable rent premium and a hard market exit for non-compliant assets.
EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is part of the tax / regulatory vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across UK markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the UK definition alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
