EPC Arundel

An Energy Performance Certificate rates how energy efficient a property is on a scale from A down to G. A valid EPC is normally required before a home is marketed for sale or offered to let.

Arundel is a historic market town in West Sussex, set on the River Arun beneath its well-known castle and cathedral. Its housing has a strong period character, with Georgian and Victorian townhouses and cottages in the older centre, alongside more recent homes on the edges of the town and in the surrounding villages. EPCs are regularly needed here for period terraces and cottages, detached and semi-detached houses, converted flats and modern developments.

What happens during the assessment

A domestic EPC in Arundel is usually straightforward, though the town's older housing can add a little complexity. The assessor visits the property and records the features of that specific home rather than assuming them from its age or setting.

  • the size and layout of the property
  • the age and construction type
  • the heating system and its controls
  • insulation to the loft, walls and floors
  • windows and glazing
  • lighting
  • any renewable technology present
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

Those details are used to produce the rating and recommendation report. Period and listed properties often have solid walls and original features, which can affect the result, so it helps to mention them when you book.

How quickly can I book an EPC in Arundel?

People searching for an EPC in Arundel are often already progressing a sale or a let, with an estate agent asking for the certificate before the property is listed.

Booking early is the best way to keep things moving and gives the assessor more flexibility where a home is older, larger or of traditional construction.

EPCs for Arundel landlords

Landlords in Arundel need a valid EPC before a rental property can be advertised. The certificate also lets you check the home against the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), which set the minimum rating required to let legally. That can be particularly relevant for the town's older, solid-wall period properties, where the recommendation report may highlight worthwhile improvements.

EPCs for homeowners selling a property

Selling a house or flat in Arundel usually means having an EPC in place before marketing begins, whether it is a Georgian townhouse, a period cottage or a newer home nearby. Arranging it early removes one task from the sale, and the recommendation report can flag quick improvements that may help the rating.

EPC data for Arundel

Figures below are for Arun, the local authority covering Arundel, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

3,352EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 43% of certificates
53%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£969Average estimated heating cost a year

That expiry count is certificates lodged ten years ago and now coming up for renewal. Some of those homes have already been re-certified since, which authority-level data cannot show, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a to-do list.

How Arun rates

Share of the 20,093 certificates lodged in the five years to 2026 Q2. This is the certificates lodged, not a survey of every home in the area.

Radon in Arundel

Arundel sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where between 10 and 30 in 100 homes are estimated to be at or above the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not measured during an EPC survey and does not affect the rating, but if you are buying, selling or improving a home here it is worth a test kit, and worth knowing before you seal a property up: draught-proofing and insulation work can raise indoor radon if ventilation is reduced. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Planning records published for the area within a mile of Arundel centre show 2 conservation areas. That matters for an EPC in two ways. A listed building is normally exempt from needing one where meeting the minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter its character or appearance, though the exemption is not automatic and the decision rests with the owner on advice. And in conservation areas and article 4 areas the improvements an EPC recommends, replacement glazing or external wall insulation in particular, often need consent before they can be carried out. Your assessor will record what is actually there; the consent question is one for the council.

What an EPC costs in Arundel

An EPC around here generally costs between £70 and £170, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.

What to expect when a Domestic Energy Assessor comes to your property

Every Domestic Energy Assessor / DEA will have their own order and format of carrying out the EPC depending on the software that they use and their personal preference to efficiency.
