What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate, commonly known as an EPC, is a legal requirement in the UK for properties being sold, rented, or newly built, providing a clear energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It includes estimated energy costs, environmental impact and recommendations for improvement, helping homeowners, landlords, and buyers make informed decisions.
With EPC regulations tightening and energy efficiency becoming a key factor in property value, ensuring your property meets the required standards is more important than ever. At First Certify, we have a team of EPC assessors to offer fast, reliable, and accurate EPC assessments across Sussex, helping you stay compliant while improving your property’s efficiency and marketability.

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.
