What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It's a legal requirement in England and Wales whenever you sell, rent, or build a property.
- Legally required: You must have a valid EPC before marketing a property for sale or rent. Failure to provide one can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
- Valid for 10 years: Once issued, your certificate lasts a decade. No need to renew unless you want an updated rating after improvements.
- Includes recommendations: Every EPC comes with practical suggestions to improve your rating, from loft insulation to upgraded boilers.
- Registered on a public database: Your certificate is lodged on the government's EPC register within 24 hours of assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our services in Bow
Properties in Bow
Bow has a distinctive mix of Victorian artisan cottages, inter-war London County Council estates and major modern developments. The Tredegar Square area features elegant Georgian terraces, while streets like Coborn Road and Fairfield Road have classic Victorian houses. Fish Island and the Bow Wharf area have seen extensive new-build flat development in recent years, transforming former industrial sites.
Common property types
- Georgian terraces around Tredegar Square: The Grade II listed properties around Tredegar Square date from the 1820s-1840s with thick solid brick walls, tall sash windows and ornate plasterwork. These 4-5 bed homes typically rate E or F on their EPC due to age and construction constraints.
- Victorian artisan cottages: Compact 2-bed terraces on streets like Antill Road, Parnell Road and Wrights Road were built for local workers in the 1870s-1890s. With solid walls and small footprints, they typically rate D or E but respond well to targeted improvements.
- Inter-war LCC estates: The Bow Common and Old Ford estates built in the 1930s-1950s include low-rise flats and maisonettes with cavity walls. These are generally easier to improve and can reach C ratings with standard measures.
- Modern canal-side flats: New developments on Fish Island, along the Hertford Union Canal and at Bow Wharf feature contemporary apartments built to Part L standards. Most achieve B ratings with some reaching A where heat pumps or solar panels are fitted.
Typical EPC issues we find in Bow
- Listed building constraints around Tredegar Square: Properties in and around the Tredegar Square conservation area face restrictions on external alterations. Double glazing and external wall insulation may require listed building consent, limiting the improvements available to boost EPC ratings.
- Victorian solid walls on workers' cottages: The compact terraces on Antill Road, Wrights Road and surrounding streets have solid 9-inch brick walls. Internal wall insulation is the main option but reduces already modest room sizes in these small properties.
- Communal heating in modern blocks: Several new-build developments on Fish Island and around Bromley-by-Bow use district or communal heating systems. The efficiency of these shared systems directly affects individual flat EPC ratings, and residents have no control over the communal plant.
- Converted flats with electric heating: Some Victorian house conversions on Coborn Road and Fairfield Road rely on electric panel heaters or storage heaters rather than gas central heating. Electric heating scores poorly on EPCs and switching to a gas system can significantly improve ratings.
