Finding a Brighton home's EPC
On the GOV.UK register, a postcode search brings up addresses to pick from. You don't pay to view or download a certificate. EPCs expire after 10 years, so check the date shown on yours (how long an EPC lasts). If a home doesn't appear, the EPC register page tells you what to do next.
