Why this appears in seller and landlord workflows

Some properties include commercial elements or tenancies where different certificate types apply than a standard domestic EPC. Getting the wrong certificate wastes time and can mislead marketing.

What to do

  • Identify the primary use classes involved.
  • Instruct appropriate accredited assessors for the building type.
  • Keep records for your agent and solicitor.

Platform angle

Property Passport UK is primarily oriented around residential address records; use it to keep domestic EPC and documents organised while professionals advise on mixed-use complexity.
