EPC certificate cost in Tower Hamlets: £56 to £150

Tower Hamlets is a major Greater London town with private-rented stock spread across postcode areas E1, E2, E3, E14. Competition for stock keeps both rents and inspection fees at the top of the national range. Landlords letting property here must hold a valid EPC certificate before a new tenancy begins, and must renew it at least every 10 years.

Postcode areas typically covered include E1, E2, E3, E14. Engineers serving Tower Hamlets may charge a small premium for properties inside congestion or low-emission zones where parking and travel times add cost.

A standard EPC inspection takes between thirty and ninety minutes depending on the size and age of the property. The accredited Domestic Energy Assessor records the property's construction, insulation, heating system and glazing, then runs the figures through the Standard Assessment Procedure to produce a rating from A to G. The certificate lasts ten years.
