EPC, Fire Risk and Retrofit Services in Hackney
Coordinate EPCs, fire risk assessments, retrofit assessments and wider property compliance for Hackney landlords, agents, managers and housing providers.
Property compliance in Hackney
Hackney includes areas such as Dalston, Stoke Newington, Clapton, Homerton and Shoreditch. Typical property types include converted Victorian houses, warehouse conversions, social housing estates and mixed-use buildings. That mix means requirements differ from one address to the next, so we scope each enquiry around the property, its use and its occupation.
Services we coordinate in Hackney
Planning inspections for Hackney properties
A converted house in Dalston can have individual-flat electrical inspections alongside separate common-area fire-safety responsibilities. Commercial units beneath residential accommodation around Shoreditch may require a different EPC scope from the flats above. The quotation should identify each unit, its current use and who manages the shared areas.
Clarifying the scope for your property
Where refurbishment is planned in an older building, refurbishment survey requirements need discussion before work disturbs the building fabric. This is separate from ordinary EICR or gas-certificate renewals. For licensing, identify households and shared facilities before checking Hackney’s current scheme.
Requesting a local quote: For properties in Dalston, Shoreditch, Homerton and Stoke Newington, please supply the exact postcode, property type, relevant inspection or report, existing documents, and any access deadline. We can discuss a defined scope and provide an itemised quotation. Explore our services or request a Hackney quote.
Local authority requirements
Property licensing and enforcement priorities can vary by London borough and change over time. We check the property address and Hackney Council requirements as part of the review rather than assuming rules from another borough apply. For HMOs, see our HMO compliance service and licensing guide.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Hackney?
Our focus is London, including Hackney. Send the full postcode and we will confirm coverage and availability for your enquiry.
Do I need an EPC to let a property in Hackney?
Yes. Landlords need a valid EPC before letting, and rented homes must normally meet the minimum energy efficiency standard unless an exemption applies.
Do HMOs and blocks in Hackney need a fire risk assessment?
The common parts of HMOs and multi-occupied residential buildings fall within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, so the responsible person must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
