EPC (Energy Performance Certificates) in Bethnal Green

• A local office at 485 Bethnal Green Road, E2, so we are never far away. Sister company of Just Move Property, so we are used to working with landlords, sellers, letting agents and tenants. Free, clear quotes before anything is booked. We arrange access with your tenants directly. Help with improvements afterwards, such as boiler and heating work through our Gas Safe registered partner engineers and lighting through our qualified partner electricians.

An EPC rates a property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Our accredited partner assessor visits and records the type of property, its age and construction; wall, roof and floor insulation; windows and glazing; the heating system, controls and hot water; and lighting. The certificate shows the current rating, the potential rating, and a list of recommended improvements.

You need a valid EPC before you market a property to let or sell, and you must give a copy to the tenant or buyer. An EPC is valid for 10 years. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, a private rented home in England must currently have a rating of at least E to be let, unless a valid exemption is registered. The government has confirmed that all private rented homes will need to meet a higher, EPC C-equivalent standard by 1 October 2030, with exemptions available in some cases. Councils can fine landlords who let properties that do not meet the minimum standard. Many East London homes, especially Victorian terraces and older flats with solid walls and single glazing, can find it harder to reach higher ratings. It is worth getting an up-to-date EPC now so you know where you stand and can plan improvements over time. This is a general guide, so check gov.uk for the full rules. We arrange EPCs across Bethnal Green, Globe Town, Shoreditch, Hackney, Bow, Mile End, Whitechapel, Stepney, Poplar and the rest of Tower Hamlets.
