  • • The weighted average EPC score improved to C 59 (2023: C 62)

EPC Opportunity in the Regions

•

25% of regional office conform to EPC A and B, growing 8% p.a. with refurbishment and new build

•

50% of all regional lettings in 2023 for EPC A and B, increasing yr - on - yr as occupiers demand better quality space and 2030 deadline gets to within 5 years of statutory requirements

•

Leeds was 65% lettings of EPC A & B in 2023

•

Current occupancy of 81.6% in the UK regional office market and increasing

•

A current and increasing demand/supply imbalance - twice the demand for EPC A and B space. This mis-match will increase in 2025 and beyond with new supply limited and cost of refurbishment acting as a constraint

•

The pace of rental growth will, in our opinion, increase as demand out strips supply

•

The gulf between Grade A space (EPC A and B) and new prime space (BREEAM Platinum and EPC A) will close, currently it is (£20 - £30 per sq.ft. rental range) vs (£45-50 per sq.ft. rental range)
