Brighton's Regency, Victorian, and seafront housing
Brighton and Hove has some of England's most architecturally diverse housing — from Regency squares and crescents in the city centre (many listed) to the dense Victorian terraces of Hanover, Preston Park, and Kemptown. The city has one of the highest proportions of flats of any English city outside London, and around 30% of homes are privately rented — driven by a large arts and creative economy and proximity to London for commuters. The Brighton postcode area is compact but extends to Hove (BN3), Peacehaven (BN10), and Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43).
Questions about EPCs in Brighton
How much does an EPC cost in Brighton?+

How quickly can I get an EPC in Brighton?+
We typically have accredited assessors available in East Sussex within 2 working days. Your certificate is emailed within 48 hours of the assessment completing.
Do I need an EPC to sell my house in Brighton?+
Yes. UK law requires a valid EPC before you can market a property for sale or let. You can be fined up to £5,000 for marketing without one.
What is the average EPC rating in Brighton?+
The average EPC rating in East Sussex is D. Around 58% of homes in the area are rated D or below — meaning many sellers and landlords need an updated or first-time EPC.
Do landlords in Brighton need an EPC?+

How long does an EPC survey take?+
Most residential assessments take 30 to 60 minutes. The assessor needs access to all rooms, the loft hatch, and the boiler.
How long is an EPC valid for?+
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
Do I need an EPC for a flat in Brighton?+
Yes. All flats and apartments require an EPC for sale or rental, regardless of whether the building is leasehold or freehold. The EPC covers the individual unit, not the whole building. A seller or landlord of a flat in Brighton is responsible for commissioning their own certificate.
My EPC has expired — do I need a new one in Brighton?+
Yes, if you are actively marketing the property. EPCs are valid for 10 years. If yours has expired and you are selling or re-letting in Brighton, you must obtain a new one before marketing. Takes 60 seconds to book online.
Which Brighton postcodes do you cover for EPC assessments?+
We cover all BN postcodes across Brighton and Hove — BN1 (city centre/Preston Park), BN2 (Kemptown/Moulsecoomb), BN3 (Hove), BN10 (Peacehaven), BN41 (Portslade), BN43 (Shoreham-by-Sea), and the surrounding areas. Book online for a fixed price and your local accredited assessor is allocated automatically.
Can you assess listed Regency properties in Brighton?+
Yes. Our Brighton assessors are experienced with Regency and Georgian properties, including listed and conservation area buildings. The assessment process is the same, but the assessor notes non-standard construction (solid stone or brick walls, sash windows, traditional timber floors) which affect both the rating and the improvement recommendations.
Do you cover Hove and Shoreham-by-Sea?+
Yes. We cover Hove (BN3), Portslade (BN41), Southwick (BN42), and Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43) at the same fixed price as Brighton. Book online in under 60 seconds.
I own a flat in Brighton — does an EPC cover just my flat or the whole building?+
Each self-contained flat receives its own individual EPC. The assessor assesses your flat only — including its walls, floor, roof/ceiling, heating system, and windows. Common areas and the building structure are not included in a residential flat EPC.
