MEES: F and G rated property

Click here for a quotation

We aim to reduce your exposure to MEES by using careful, accurate assessments instead of expensive improvement work to your building.

What’s the problem? Buildings with poor energy ratings can no longer be legally let or leased after April 2018, with penalties of up to £150,000 for non-compliance.

MEES ( The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015), create implications for both property value, lending and future income. Add to this that many existing EPC ratings are incorrect and there are real financial risks for building owners.

We can help.

Firstly, it’s absolutely essential that a thorough and professional energy assessment is carried out. We use a range of skills from different energy efficiency disciplines together with advanced software and a thorough survey, to include the most accurate data within  your energy model. This careful assessment can much reduce our clients’ exposure to MEES.

Savvy building owners that get a professional review and evaluation ahead of any works, can reduce the cost of compliance considerably.

PPN 006: Your Fast Track to Sustainable, Compliant Procurement

Public sector buyers are raising the bar, and PPN 006 is the test every supplier must pass. As government departments tighten their sustainability expectations, the firms that can demonstrate credible carbon reporting and a robust Carbon Reduction Plan will secure a clear competitive edge in panel reviews and tendered work. Those who get ahead now will dominate tenders for years to come. Those who don’t? They’ll watch the contracts go elsewhere. We break down what PPN 006 really demands—and how smart London law firms are turning compliance into a powerful competitive advantage.

The Carbon Credit Illusion

In the race to become ‘net zero’, more and more companies are turning to carbon credits to offset their emissions. On paper, it sounds like a win: emit carbon here, pay someone to reduce it somewhere else and you’re off the hook.
