Commercial EPC in Hackney

Hackney has transformed from a largely residential borough into one of London’s most active commercial markets, driven by the tech and creative industries concentrated around Shoreditch, Hoxton, and Dalston. The commercial property here is distinctive: converted warehouses and industrial buildings repurposed as offices, studios, and co-working spaces; railway arches housing food, drink, and creative businesses; and a growing stock of purpose-built commercial space responding to sustained occupier demand.

This type of building stock — conversions, mixed use, unusual configurations — is exactly where commercial EPC quality varies most between providers. A converted Shoreditch warehouse with exposed brickwork, high ceilings, mixed heating systems, and a mezzanine level requires careful zoning and an assessor who understands how the SBEM conventions handle non-standard construction. Our technical team models these buildings in full 3D using DesignBuilder, capturing the complexity that a basic iSBEM assessment might oversimplify or get wrong.

Hackney’s commercial landlords are often managing relatively small but high-value properties where the EPC rating matters both for MEES compliance and for the ESG expectations of the tech-sector tenants who dominate the area. Getting it right first time is worth the difference.
