TM44.uk Identifies Key Compliance Gaps in EPC London Multi-Site Operations

TM44.uk has released findings that reveal significant compliance failures across commercial property portfolios in London. The research examined over 480 multi-site operations between October 2024 and January 2025. Results show that 63% of building owners managing three or more properties failed to maintain valid TM44 certificates across their entire portfolio. The data points to systemic gaps in how facility managers track air-conditioning inspection deadlines and coordinate renewals across multiple locations.

TM44.uk specialises in air-conditioning energy assessments for commercial properties that operate cooling systems rated above 12kW. The company provides compliance certification that meets the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations under UK law. Property managers can book tm44 inspection online[https://tm44.uk/tm44-inspections-london/] through a structured process that includes a desktop review and an on-site assessment within 24 to 72 hours. The service covers single properties along with multi-site portfolios requiring coordinated inspection schedules to prevent lapses in certification status.

A spokesperson from TM44.uk stated that most compliance failures stem from poor tracking systems rather than intentional neglect. Properties under the same ownership often have staggered renewal dates that create confusion for facility teams. The £800 penalty per non-compliant system means a portfolio of five buildings could face fines exceeding £4,000 if inspections expire unnoticed. This risk increases when property managers rely on spreadsheets or calendar reminders instead of automated compliance tracking tools.

The findings also highlight confusion between TM44[https://tm44.uk/] air-conditioning inspections and EPC London certifications. Both documents are mandatory for commercial buildings, but serve different regulatory purposes and operate on separate renewal cycles. An EPC assesses overall building energy performance and remains valid for ten years. A TM44 certificate evaluates air-conditioning efficiency and requires renewal every five years. Properties requiring both certifications need to track two independent deadlines to avoid non-compliance penalties.

Multi-site operators face the highest risk because inspection requirements multiply with each additional property in their portfolio. A portfolio of ten buildings needs careful coordination to ensure all TM44 certificates remain current. Missing a single renewal can trigger enforcement action from local authorities and create complications during property transactions or lease negotiations. The research shows that 41% of compliance failures occurred in properties where ownership changed hands within the previous 18 months. This suggests handover processes often fail to transfer critical compliance documentation between outgoing and incoming property managers.
