EPC assessments in East Sussex
East Sussex has a high-value coastal and commuter property market centred on Brighton, Eastbourne, and Hastings, with a large proportion of Victorian seaside villas, Regency flats, and converted HMOs particularly in Brighton's BN1 and BN2 postcodes. Around 28% of Brighton homes are privately rented — one of the highest rates outside London — and the city has active enforcement of minimum EPC standards. Eastbourne and Hastings have older housing stock, often D–E rated, with growing landlord compliance pressure.
