EPC Havant

If you need an EPC in Havant, you can contact a local accredited energy assessor directly to confirm availability, price and a convenient appointment time.

An Energy Performance Certificate summarises how energy efficient a home is, scoring it from A down to G. In most cases a valid EPC must be in place before a property is marketed to buyers or tenants.

Property in Havant spans older period homes, mid-century housing and newer estates. An EPC may be needed for any of them, whether it is a terrace, a semi-detached or detached house, a converted flat or a modern build.

What the assessor looks at

The assessment is a straightforward survey in which the assessor records the property's key characteristics, including:

  • the size and layout of the home
  • property age and construction type
  • the heating system and its controls
  • insulation
  • windows and glazing
  • lighting
  • any renewable technologies such as solar panels
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

From this the assessor works out the EPC band and prepares a report of recommendations. Larger or converted properties may take a little more time, so it is worth flagging anything unusual when arranging the visit.

How soon can I get an EPC in Havant?

If you are selling or letting in Havant, it is worth arranging the EPC as early as possible. Estate agents often ask for it before a property is advertised, and booking ahead reduces the risk of the certificate holding up a sale or tenancy.

Landlords in Havant

If you let property in Havant, a valid EPC is required before the home is advertised, and it helps you check the property against the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. The recommendations can also point to practical upgrades — insulation, glazing or heating controls — that improve the rating.

EPCs for homeowners selling a property

If you are selling a house or flat in Havant, you will usually need an EPC before marketing begins — whatever the property type. Arranging it early is one less thing to deal with once the sale is under way, and the recommendation report can flag quick improvements that may help the rating.

EPC data for Havant

Figures below are for the Havant local authority area, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

1,786EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 54% of certificates
41%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£791Average 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 Havant rates

Share of the 15,060 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 Havant

Havant 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 5 and 10 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 Havant centre show 20 conservation areas, 140 listed buildings and 8 article 4 direction 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 Havant

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.
