MEES Compliance for Chorley Commercial Buildings

Commercial landlords in Chorley are required to meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for privately rented non-domestic property. Since April 2023, MEES applies to all existing tenancies, not just new or renewed leases.

If your Chorley property has an EPC rating below E, action is required before continuing to let.

Key considerations

• Industrial units and warehouses often require careful EPC assessment

• Exemptions must be registered, not assumed

• Future standards are expected to become stricter
