Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
As UK EPC regulations continue to tighten, ensuring your property meets the latest Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) standards is more important than ever.

At First Certify, our team of qualified EPC assessors in Sussex provides fast, accurate, and compliant EPC assessments, helping you stay legal, improve energy efficiency, and potentially increase your property's market value.
Gas Safety Certificates Explained
A Gas Safety Inspection is a legal requirement in the UK for all rental properties with gas appliances. Landlords must ensure a registered Gas Safe engineer carries out an annual inspection to check all gas fittings, appliances, flues, and pipework are safe and in proper working order. Following the inspection, a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is issued – a document that must be provided to tenants within 28 days and retained for at least two years.
Have you checked if your property already has an EPC?
Before booking a new Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessment, property owners in Sussex are encouraged to first check whether a valid EPC already exists for their property. You can quickly view, download, or print your current EPC by visiting the official UK government EPC register. This simple step helps you save both time and money, ensuring you only request a new EPC if absolutely necessary.
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
In the UK, it is a legal requirement for any property being rented or sold to have a valid Energy Performance Certificate, commonly known as an EPC. This must be obtained before the property is marketed to prospective tenants or buyers. An EPC outlines the property's current energy efficiency rating, provides recommendations for improvement, and estimates the potential cost savings from energy upgrades. Ensuring your property has an up to date EPC helps meet legal obligations and can increase its appeal to environmentally conscious buyers or renters.
