Local knowledge
Herne Bay, from the clock tower to Reculver.
Herne Bay is our home town. The seafront runs from the clock tower and the pier past beach huts and Victorian villas, with the Downs rising towards Beltinge and the twin towers of Reculver beyond.
Inland, well over a century of building – interwar semis, bungalows in Studd Hill and Broomfield, new estates at Greenhill and Hillborough – means every EPC starts with knowing what you are looking at.

Herne Bay’s homes
What we see in Herne Bay, and what it means for your rating.
Victorian seafront homes
Solid brick walls and older glazing usually hold ratings back. Wall insulation is effective but costly, so we weigh it against simpler wins.
Bungalows
Beltinge, Studd Hill and Broomfield bungalows lose heat through the roof; loft insulation is usually the first step.
Post-war semis
Cavity walls that may never have been filled – we check rather than assume.
New builds
Greenhill and Hillborough homes usually rate well. Check the date on any new-build EPC.
