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
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
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.
