Why Do You Need an EPC in Haywards Heath?
An EPC is required when marketing a property for sale or rent. An energy performance certificate can support your property value and improve appeal to buyers and tenants, while highlighting practical ways to reduce energy costs.
Across Haywards Heath, properties range from older town-centre and established residential areas to large modern developments on the edge of town. Local knowledge and a sound understanding of building performance are essential to achieving a fair and realistic result.
For landlords, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) currently require rental properties to meet at least an E rating. With further tightening of regulations expected, improving energy efficiency now can help avoid future compliance issues and costly upgrades.

Haywards Heath has a broad mix of housing, from older town-centre properties and established residential areas to large modern developments on the edge of town. This includes character housing in Lindfield, established estates in Ashenground, Bentswood, Franklands Heath and Lucastes, as well as modern homes in developments such as Bolnore Village.
A wide variety of properties can also be found across the surrounding areas, each with its own characteristics that have a significant effect on EPC ratings.

What Does an EPC Assessment Involve?
A domestic energy assessment includes:
- Inspection of insulation levels, heating, glazing, and lighting.
- Evaluation of the building's construction and layout.
- Calculation of your property's current energy rating.
- Recommendations for improving energy performance.
