What Is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
The certificate helps property owners, buyers and tenants understand how efficiently a building uses energy and includes recommendations that may help improve future performance and reduce running costs.
An EPC typically includes:
- Current energy efficiency rating.
- Potential future rating if improvements are made.
- Estimated annual energy costs.
- Carbon emissions data.
- Recommended energy efficiency improvements with estimated savings.
Domestic EPCs remain valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

EPC for Landlords in Bow E3
Bow remains a popular area for landlords due to its transport links, growing rental demand and proximity to Canary Wharf, Stratford and the City of London. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), all rental properties in England must hold a minimum EPC rating of E. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let without a registered exemption.
Tower Hamlets Council also operates selective and additional landlord licensing schemes across parts of E3. A valid EPC is typically required as part of the licence application. EPCRATE’s EPC + Floor Plan Bundle at £118 covers both documents in a single visit.
Where exemptions may apply, eligibility depends on specific qualifying criteria and supporting evidence will be required.

What Happens During an EPC Assessment?
The EPC assessment process is straightforward and non-invasive. During the inspection, the assessor records information relating to:
- Property dimensions.
- Wall construction.
- Roof construction.
- Heating systems and controls.
- Hot water systems.
- Glazing.
- Fixed lighting.
- Insulation where evidence is available.
The information is entered into approved assessment software to produce the EPC. The certificate is lodged on the national register within 24 hours of the assessment. Where supporting documentation exists — such as insulation certificates or FENSA documentation — it may help ensure qualifying features are recognised appropriately.
