Why Do You Need an EPC in Worthing?
An EPC is required when marketing a property for sale or rent. A strong energy rating improves buyer and tenant appeal, while helping reduce long-term energy costs.
Worthing has a strong sales and rental market, with many flats and older buildings. Understanding how to upgrade these can be difficult and confusing. For landlords, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) require rental properties to meet at least an E rating. With future regulation expected to tighten, improving your property’s efficiency now can help you remain compliant and avoid expensive upgrades later.
Understading property types in Worthing
Worthing and Lancing feature a wide variety of housing, from older seaside terraces and 1930s family homes to large post-war estates and modern apartment developments near the coast and town centres.
In Worthing, this includes character properties in Heene and Tarring, family housing in Broadwater and Salvington, and a mix of older and newer homes throughout the surrounding suburbs. Goring-by-Sea and Lancing also have their own broad range of residential property types, each with its own construction and efficiency considerations.
Properties across these areas can differ significantly in their construction type, insulation levels and heating systems, all of which directly influence EPC ratings.
What does an EPC assessment involve?
A domestic energy assessment includes:
- Inspection of insulation, heating systems, glazing, and lighting.
- Evaluation of the building's construction and layout.
- Calculation of your home's current energy rating.
- Recommendations for improving energy performance.
