Horsham's housing stock is predominantly made up of houses built during the mid-20th century. These properties typically achieve an average EPC rating of D, which is fairly common across the UK. However, around 60% of homes in the area fall below EPC rating C, suggesting there's considerable scope for energy improvements across the town.

Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal document that rates your property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). In Horsham, you must have a valid EPC when selling or letting a property. It shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and power the home, and suggests improvements to reduce energy bills.
The average EPC rating in Horsham is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, which means many homes have room for energy efficiency improvements. If your property is rated D or lower, you may want to consider upgrades to make it more attractive to buyers or tenants and reduce running costs.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate. If your certificate is expiring soon, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before marketing your home.
Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement for properties in Horsham. Many homes in the area date from the mid-20th century and lack adequate loft insulation, making this a highly effective and relatively affordable upgrade. Adding or improving loft insulation can significantly reduce heat loss, lower your energy bills, and improve your EPC rating.
