Energy Performance Certificates Explained
An Energy Performance Certificate, commonly known as an EPC, is a legal requirement in the UK for any property being sold, rented, or newly constructed. It provides an official energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with estimated energy costs, carbon emissions, and tailored recommendations for improvement. EPCs help homeowners, landlords, and prospective buyers understand a property's energy performance and identify ways to reduce energy bills and environmental impact.
With UK EPC regulations becoming stricter and energy efficiency playing a growing role in property value, it's essential to ensure your property meets current standards. At First Certify, our qualified EPC assessors deliver fast, accurate, and fully compliant EPC assessments across Sussex - helping you stay legal, boost efficiency, and increase your property's appeal.

Have you checked if your property already has an EPC?
Many property owners across Sussex may not realise their home already has a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Before booking an assessment, we recommend checking the government EPC register where you can view, download, or print your EPC quickly and easily.
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
It is a legal obligation for a property being rented or sold to possess an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The EPC must be obtained prior to the property being placed on the market. An EPC provides prospective buyers or tenants with an overview of the property's current energy rating, along with recommendations for measures to enhance it's energy efficiency and estimates of the potential financial savings such improvements could yield.
