EPC Certificate Tower Hamlets — from £89.99

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). An accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) inspects the property's insulation, heating system, hot water system, windows and lighting to produce the rating, along with a report of recommended improvements and their estimated cost and impact.

Every landlord in England must provide a valid EPC before marketing a property to let, and the property must meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) of an E rating or above. This national standard applies in Tower Hamlets as it does across England.

EPC assessments in Tower Hamlets — local property context

Tower Hamlets has the highest share of post-2000 housing in London: 44.8% of its homes, against 17.9% across the capital. Just 8.8% of households live in terraced houses, and pre-1900 buildings make up 10.7% of the stock, about half the London level. Four in five households live in purpose-built flats, and 3.5% in flats carved out of former warehouses, schools or churches.

Private renting is the borough's largest tenure, at 38.2% of households in 2021 against 30.0% for London, with additional HMO licensing borough-wide until March 2029. Our accredited DEA assessors are experienced with the insulation and heating systems typically found in properties across the E14, E1, E3, E2, E1W postcode areas, and regularly carry out EPC assessments across Tower Hamlets for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EPCs in Tower Hamlets: 2010s blocks reaching their first renewal

More than a quarter of Tower Hamlets' council tax properties, 28.1%, were built in 2010 or later (VOA 2025). An EPC lodged when a block was completed lasts ten years, so a flat in a block finished in 2016 sees that first certificate expire in 2026. A valid one is needed before the flat is next marketed or let, so check the register date before re-letting.

Older streets need a different check. Among the borough's 58 conservation areas are Tredegar Square, Wapping Wall, and Brick Lane and Fournier Street. Read the area's management guidelines before acting on recommendations that change the outside of a building.
