For landlords and homeowners in Lancing and Sompting, a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement before any property can be marketed for sale or rent. At First Certify, we provide professional, accredited domestic EPC assessments across the entire BN15 area. Our reports ensure your property meets the current Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) required by Adur District Council and national regulations.
Whether you own a bungalow in North Lancing, a family home in Sompting Village, or a modern seaside flat near Beach Green, our local assessors provide accurate data to help you understand your property's efficiency. We analyse everything from insulation levels to heating systems, providing a roadmap for lower energy costs and carbon reduction. Once the survey is complete, your EPC is lodged on the official government register and delivered digitally within 72 hours.
Essential information regarding Energy Performance Certificates for BN15 property owners.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property's efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides a standardised snapshot of estimated energy costs and the property's carbon footprint.
An EPC is a statutory requirement whenever a property is sold, let, or built. Across Lancing and Sompting, you must have a valid certificate in place before a property can be marketed to potential buyers or tenants.
Failure to provide an EPC can result in fixed penalty notices from Trading Standards. Furthermore, rental properties in West Sussex failing to meet the minimum 'E' rating may be legally ineligible to be let under MEES regulations.
Knowing your EPC status is essential, whether you’re looking to sell, rent, or improve energy efficiency. You can quickly and easily check if your property already has a valid EPC by visiting the official UK government EPC register.
This ensures you don't pay for a new report unnecessarily. If you still require a new certificate, you can book online with us.
As well as providing EPCs, we offer other essential certificates and inspections for landlords, homeowners and Estate Agents throughout the BN15 area.

An EPC details the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A to G. It is a legal requirement for selling or letting any residential property in Lancing and Sompting.
It is a statutory obligation for property transactions and tenancies. Beyond legal compliance, it provides a roadmap to lower your energy bills and carbon footprint in the BN15 area.
Landlords must ensure their property achieves an E rating or higher under current Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Properties below this may be ineligible for rental in West Sussex.
Our certificates include a detailed list of recommendations, such as installing loft insulation, switching to LED lighting, or upgrading your boiler, to help you achieve a better score for your Adur-based property.
Most assessments in Lancing take under an hour. Larger properties—such as detached homes in Sompting Village or bungalows in North Lancing—may require extra time to gather all necessary data.
The assessor reviews the property's insulation, heating systems, windows, and lighting. They do not damage your property; it is a non-invasive visual inspection.
An EPC is valid for 10 years. You do not need to renew it during that period unless you have made significant energy-efficiency improvements and want to reflect a better rating.
