Re-Charging Gas and Price Cap

[EmbraFella]

As a landlord of a commercial property, I have traditionally re-charged the cost of gas and electricity with a multiplier as a mark-up. This has covered unmetered usage in common areas, admin etc. I'd love to say it is all set out clearly in the lease, but it isn't.

With the 6 month price cap, does anyone know if that is still allowed, or are we forced to re-charge at cost only?

Surely the price cap is to the bill payer. Downstream is contractual surely.

If not tight in the lease, I'd say nothing but have a defensible position all the same.

Yes, that's a good point and seems quite obvious when put like that. Thanks.
