Bow is a straight run west from Stratford and firmly inside the area we cover. Accredited assessment, certificate lodged on the government register usually within 48 hours, and a real person on the phone to arrange a time.

Three layers again: early-Victorian and Georgian around Tredegar Square, which is protected; ordinary Victorian terraces along and around Roman Road; and substantial 1960s and 1970s estates. Along the canal and towards Fish Island there is a growing amount of new-build and warehouse-conversion flats.
C to D for the newer flats, D to E for the Victorian terraces, and the estate flats vary enormously with the construction type.
The things worth knowing before an assessor turns up at a Bow address.
Listed and conservation-protected property there leaves very little room for fabric changes. The honest recommendation list for these houses is short, and mostly about heating and controls rather than the building itself.
Post-war blocks in Tower Hamlets use several different construction systems, and the wall type is one of the biggest single inputs into the rating. This is worth getting right rather than assuming.
Warehouse conversions bring high ceilings, large industrial glazing and unusual wall build-ups. They take longer to record and they are worth having done by someone who will actually measure rather than default.
The minimum rating a landlord must hold rises from E to C — 2028 for new tenancies, October 2030 for the rest. What that means depends heavily on what you own, and Bow is a specific case.
The listed and conservation-protected houses around Tredegar Square are the ones to think about. Where consent for the necessary improvements is refused, an exemption can be registered — but it has to be registered, not assumed.
Full timeline, the £10,000 spending cap, and what is happening to the A–G rating itself: the rules, set out plainly — or the complete landlord guide: MEES and the EPC rules every UK landlord needs to know.
Not a problem, just a longer visit. The construction does not match the usual defaults, so more of it has to be measured and evidenced on site. The price is the same.
£69 for a home with up to three bedrooms, and £89 for four or five. That is the whole price — no call-out fee, no lodgement fee, nothing added afterwards.
Bow is inside our regular patch, so we can usually offer a slot within a few days, including evenings and Saturday mornings. We ring you the same working day you book to fix the exact time.
