Plaistow and West Ham sit just south of Stratford, so they fold straight into the work we already do around the park. Accredited assessment, certificate lodged on the government register usually within 48 hours, and a real person on the phone to arrange a time.

Dense late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces, tightly packed, with interwar and post-war infill where wartime damage was cleared. Smaller houses on the whole than Leytonstone or Wanstead, and a high proportion of them privately rented.
D and E dominate, and F is not unheard of on an unimproved property with an old boiler and no loft insulation.
The things worth knowing before an assessor turns up at a Plaistow & West Ham address.
A large share of E13 is let. The current E minimum already applies, and the move to C is confirmed. Getting an accurate certificate now tells you how far you actually have to go — see the timeline below.
Pre-1920 solid brick again, and small terraces lose proportionally more heat through the fabric. Loft insulation depth and heating controls are where the achievable gains are.
Conversions here were often done cheaply, which shows up in the rating. Each resulting flat needs its own certificate.
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 Plaistow & West Ham is a specific case.
This is the most exposed area on our list. A very high rented share, small solid-wall terraces, and a lot of stock sitting at D or E today. If you let in E13, this is worth costing out early.
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.
At E, yes — E is the current minimum for a domestic let in England and Wales. What you should be planning for is the move to C. The timeline is set out further down this page.
£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.
