Business energy for commercial landlords
Landlords manage energy for common areas, void units and sometimes tenants. That brings its own contract and recharging questions.
How commercial landlords use energy
- Common areasLighting, lifts and heating in shared spaces.
- Void unitsSupplies that still need a contract when empty.
- Landlord-supplied tenantsWhere energy is recharged.
- Multiple buildingsOften with different end dates.
Things to consider when buying
- Void properties can end up on deemed or out-of-contract rates. Keep them under contract.
- If you resell energy to tenants, there are rules on how much you can recharge. Take advice on your arrangements.
- A portfolio view of all your supplies makes renewals manageable.
Questions
Can you help with void properties?
Yes. Include them in your enquiry. Unmanaged voids are a common source of high rates.
Can I recharge energy to tenants?
Yes, but there are rules on reselling energy and how much you can charge. Take advice on your arrangement.
Who is responsible for a void unit's supply?
Usually the landlord, from the date the tenant leaves. Take a reading on that date.
