Non-Domestic MEES: Government Confirms EPC B Target for Larger Commercial Buildings

After years of regulatory limbo, last week the Government finally published an interim response to its 2019 and 2021 consultations on non-domestic MEES.  The update confirmed a target of EPC B for larger commercial buildings (measuring over 1,000 sq m) in England and Wales from 2031. This builds on the announcements at the end of 2025, that the next rung in the MEES ladder for the domestic sector would be EPC C by 2030. It is significant that this will be the first time since the regime was introduced that non-domestic MEES has not tracked the same target as domestic MEES (albeit on a delayed basis).

Contractual Controls Register: what the new Regulations mean for your deals

On 8 June 2026, the Government made the Provision of Information (Contractual Control) (Registered Land) Regulations 2026 which form the statutory framework for the new Contractual Controls Register. Contractual controls are rights that give a party the ability to control how and when land is transferred, without conferring legal ownership. They are widely used, particularly by developers and land promoters. The register, which is due to be launched by the Land Registry on 6 April 2027, is designed to increase transparency in the property market.

Unpicking the Government’s Bill to ban upwards only rent reviews

The Government (through Deputy PM Angela Rayner) introduced the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill into the Commons on 10 July. Amongst other matters the Bill seeks to reignite a Labour policy last seen at the turn of the century - a ban on upwards only rent review mechanisms in commercial leases. We’ve taken a look at what this would mean for the real estate market.

Commonhold 2.0: Commercial Takeaways from the Government’s White Paper

The UK Government’s Commonhold White Paper, published on 3 March 2025, commits to making commonhold the default tenure for flats in England and Wales.

In this insight we discuss the key commercial takeaways.
