For commercial properties in UK, accurate meter readings at handover help confirm responsibility when tenants change or leases begin or end.
Energy responsibility should be documented precisely when occupancy changes.
Why Property Handovers Create Energy Responsibility
Common issues during commercial property handovers include:
► Opening or closing readings not being recorded
► Responsibility dates not clearly defined
► Usage continuing under the previous occupier
► Disagreements between landlords and tenants
These issues often stem from a lack of documented meter data at handover.
What Can Go Wrong After a Property Handover
Without a clear record at handover, energy charges may continue under the previous occupier or be incorrectly assigned to the new tenant, creating avoidable conflict.
Independent Meter Readings as Clear Handover Evidence
Without a clear record at handover, energy charges may continue under the previous occupier or be incorrectly assigned to the new tenant, creating avoidable conflict.

Q&A
Emergency boiler repairs are typically required when normal heating or hot water use is disrupted or when continued operation could pose a safety risk. Situations that often require urgent attention include:
-
Complete loss of heating during cold conditions
-
No hot water affecting residential or commercial use
-
Boiler shutdowns that cannot be reset
-
Water leaks or pressure failures
-
Repeated fault codes or system lockouts
-
Concerns about safe boiler operation
If your issue falls into one of these categories, emergency support may be required rather than routine servicing.
