UPGRADE MY EPC
A tailored service brought to you by Hollen+
We ASSESS, ADVISE & DELIVER
EPC upgrades for commercial real estate
in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Why Hollen+ ?
Our team of chartered surveyors and non-domestic energy assessors have spent their entire careers adding value to commercial real estate, working for some of the biggest names in the industry.
Our 3 Stage Approach:
1. ASSESS
Undertake EPC inspection and energy modelling.
2.ADVISE
We advise which are the most cost-effective upgrade options available for the subject building.
3.DELIVER
We can deliver the works required through our project management team.
Our unique approach establishes the most cost-effective solutions to improve energy efficiency and EPC ratings through detailed energy assessments.
We use advanced building survey equipment and undertake detailed investigation into every building to ensure the baseline EPC is as high as possible, thereby minimising the costs of any improvements needed.
We have successfully achieved EPC B’s where previous assessments have been as low as EPC D.
Upgrade recommendations are delivered through an asset management mindset, taking into consideration costs, the commercial value they will add, existing PPM's, service charge recoverability and practicality of delivering the works required.
Our project management capability enables us to provide an integrated, fully managed EPC improvement service, guaranteeing landlords that the CAPEX they spend will result in the successful achievement of the target EPC.
By managing the entire process, we remove the risk of works being undertaken that don’t meet the required target, providing certainly for our clients that the works undertaken will achieve the targeted EPC rating.

3 Crucial Reasons to Instruct Today
1. Securing a compliant EPC increases capital value by:
increasing the rent achievable.
removing the risk of obsolescence.
removing uncertainty around the cost of compliance upgrades.
improving liquidity.
2. Ensures compliance with EPC legislation, thereby removing the risk of fines for non-compliance, which can be up to £150,000 per breach, as well as the reputational risk.
3. Taking action now will help avoid major build cost inflation:
There are around 2,000,000 commercial buildings in the UK.
Over 80% of these buildings are still below an EPC B.
This means there are over 1,600,000 commercial buildings in the UK that have not yet instructed the required upgrade works.
With only 5 years left to the 2030 deadline, major build cost inflation is forecast as demand outstrips supply.
