Falmouth combines a deep-water port, a major university and a thriving tourism economy — all of which generate plenty of commercial property requiring an NDEPC. We survey premises across Falmouth, Penryn and the wider Helford peninsula.
Hotels, guesthouses and seafront cafés, marine industry premises, university-related serviced offices, retail units in Falmouth town and Penryn, B&Bs and holiday-let conversions.

Alongside the standard Non-Domestic EPC we provide full SBEM calculations for new-build and major refurbishment projects in Falmouth that need Part L Building Regulations compliance, plus the as-built commercial EPC for Building Control sign-off.
Since April 2023 it is unlawful to let a Falmouth commercial property rated F or G without a registered exemption. Under DESNZ’s June 2026 interim response the 2027 EPC C milestone was dropped; a proposed EPC B by 2031 will apply only to buildings over 1,000 m² (pending secondary legislation), and smaller buildings continue at the current Band E minimum. Our Commercial Energy Advice (MEES) consultancy sits alongside the EPC and models realistic upgrades — LED re-lamping, controls, insulation, heat pump retrofit, solar PV — with cost and payback so Falmouth landlords have a defensible improvement plan.

Yes — under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations a valid Non-Domestic EPC (NDEPC) is required when any commercial property in Falmouth is sold, let or newly constructed. The certificate is valid for 10 years and is produced by an accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) using SBEM software.
Since April 2023 it is unlawful to continue to let a commercial property in Falmouth rated F or G without a registered MEES exemption. Under DESNZ's June 2026 interim response the 2027 EPC C milestone was dropped; a proposed EPC B by 2031 will apply only to buildings over 1,000 m² (pending secondary legislation), and smaller buildings remain at Band E. We pair every EPC with the option of a separate MEES Commercial Advice Report so Falmouth landlords have a costed improvement plan, not just a certificate.
