First Certify provides accredited domestic EPC assessments across all BN17 postcodes, ensuring your property is fully compliant with the latest Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. This legal documentation is essential for satisfying government regulations and avoiding potential civil penalties from Arun District Council.
From the Riverside developments to traditional homes in Wick and Beaumont, we provide precise assessments for all property types across the Arun District. Our local assessors identify energy efficiency ratings and provide mandatory recommendations to help property owners reduce carbon footprints and energy costs. Following the inspection, your certificate is uploaded to the central government register with a standard delivery time of three working days or less.
Everything you need to know about Energy Performance Certificates in the Littlehampton and BN17 area.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property's efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides a snapshot of energy costs and carbon footprint for properties in Littlehampton and the Arun District.
An EPC is a legal requirement whenever a property is sold, rented, or built. In Littlehampton, you must have a valid certificate before you can market your property to potential buyers or tenants.
Failing to provide an EPC can result in substantial fines from Trading Standards. Additionally, rental properties in the BN17 area must meet the current "E" rating to be legally eligible for new or existing tenancies.
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.
