Disclosures in commercial real estate are generally subject to caveat emptor (buyer/renter beware), but certain statutory rules apply.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
Commercial properties, like residential ones, must have a valid EPC.
Planning Authority Permits
The landlord should specify (or the tenant should verify) that the premises have the correct Planning Authority (PA) compliance certificates for the intended commercial use (e.g., Class 4B for retail, Class 4A for offices).
Getting Started with Compliance
Managing compliance can be complex. Landager helps landlords track their compliance status, manage lease terms, and stay updated when regulations like the Private Residential Leases Act change.
