Deal (CT14) at a glance

Local knowledge
Deal, from the pier to the castles.
Deal’s character comes from its seafront: the pier, the Timeball Tower, and Deal and Walmer castles along the shingle. Behind the front, the old town’s narrow streets give way to Victorian terraces, then to the larger homes of Walmer, Upper Deal and Kingsdown.
That mix is why local knowledge matters. A salt-weathered Georgian townhouse and a 1970s bungalow in Sholden need recording in very different ways. Our 01304 number is a local call from anywhere in Deal.
Do you need an EPC in Deal? Yes, if you are selling or letting. A home needs a valid EPC before it is marketed, the certificate lasts ten years, and rented homes must currently be band E or above, rising to band C by 1 October 2030. On the public register, 48% of Deal homes (CT14) are rated C or better and the most common band is D.

Deal’s homes
What we see in Deal, and what it means for your rating.
Georgian and listed homes
Solid walls and sash windows in the Middle Street conservation area. We record them accurately and flag realistic, sympathetic improvements.
Victorian terraces
Typical of central Deal. Loft insulation and heating controls are often the quickest wins.
Walmer and Kingsdown
Larger family homes and bungalows, where extensions and conversions need measuring carefully.
Seafront flats
Conversions along the front, often let, where MEES and the 2030 band C target matter most.

Questions
EPCs in Deal, answered.
Do I need an EPC to sell or rent a home in Deal?
Yes. You need a valid EPC before you market a home for sale or rent in Deal, as anywhere in England, and it lasts ten years. Rented homes must currently be band E or above, rising to band C by 1 October 2030. Listed buildings are not automatically exempt – see our guide to listed buildings and EPCs. You can check an existing EPC by postcode first.
Do listed buildings in Deal need an EPC?
Usually, if they are being sold or let. Some listed buildings can be exempt, but the exemption is narrow – our listed buildings guide explains when it applies, and in the Middle Street and Kingsdown conservation areas we focus on improvements that are realistic for the building.
How quickly can you visit in Deal?
We call back within minutes during office hours to arrange a visit at a time that suits you, and we lodge your EPC on the register the same day as the assessment.
Which areas around Deal do you cover?
All of Deal, Walmer, Upper Walmer, Kingsdown, Ringwould, Sholden, Great Mongeham and Mill Hill – plus Sandwich, Dover and the rest of East Kent.
How long does an EPC last?
Ten years. If you have made improvements since your last EPC, a new assessment can show a better rating. Our guide to improving your EPC explains what makes a difference.
Can you do the EPC and a floor plan in one visit?
Yes. We can measure for a floor plan in the same visit, so both are ready for your listing. See EPC and floor plans.
How can I check my current EPC rating?
Use our free Check your EPC tool. Type your postcode to see your home’s current rating, when the certificate expires and whether a new assessment could help.
