Local knowledge
Folkestone, a town remaking itself.
Folkestone’s clifftop Leas, the old Bayle and the regenerated Harbour Arm and creative quarter sit alongside streets of Victorian terraces in Foord and Cheriton – with Hythe and Sandgate along the coast.
Conservation areas and mixed roof constructions make careful, local recording important here.

Questions
EPCs in Folkestone, answered.
How quickly can you visit in Folkestone?
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 Folkestone do you cover?
Folkestone, Cheriton, Foord, Sandgate, Hythe, Hawkinge, Densole, Lyminge, Etchinghill and Alkham.
Can I improve the rating of a home on the Leas?
Often, yes – loft and roof insulation, heating controls and many heating upgrades don’t change the outside of the building. External changes may need permission in the conservation area.
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.
