The impact of the ‘MEES Regulations’ has become a sharp reality to commercial property stakeholders, with the realisation that the minimum standard of ‘B’ by 2030 is more than a rumour and the stark impact of the change in EPC assessment in June 2022 leading to many assets becoming non-compliant far earlier than anticipated.  This talk will look at how the MEES Regulations are playing out in reality in the commercial leasehold market and the several and significant sources of potential dispute ahead over the course of the decade as MEES continues to bite harder.

• Inaccurate EPCs and the impact on property finance
• Liability questions around property purchase and finance
• The wider impact of MEES upon commercial property values
• Lease wording issues around EPCs
• Opportunities for Landlord’s successful recovery of EPC improvement costs
• The ‘excess utility bills’ claim
