First Certify provides accredited domestic EPC assessments across the entire BN43 postcode region, ensuring your property is fully compliant with the latest Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). This legal documentation is essential for satisfying government regulations and avoiding potential civil penalties issued by the local authority.
From historic flint cottages near St Mary de Haura to modern waterfront developments at Shoreham Beach and houseboats along the River Adur, we provide precise assessments for every property type. Our local Shoreham assessors identify energy efficiency ratings and provide mandatory recommendations to help property owners reduce carbon emissions and annual 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 Shoreham-by-Sea and the BN43 area.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your Shoreham property's efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides a snapshot of potential energy costs and the property's carbon footprint.
An EPC is a legal requirement whenever a property is sold, rented, or built. In Shoreham, you must have a valid certificate before your property can be formally marketed for sale or let.
Failing to provide an EPC can result in fines from Adur District Trading Standards. Furthermore, rental properties must meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) to be legally let.
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.
