Letting in Stratford: which Newham licence applies

Stratford is in the London Borough of Newham, and Newham licenses most private rentals. Its selective licensing scheme, for homes let to one household or to two sharers, came into force on 1 June 2023 and runs to 31 May 2028.

The scheme covers 22 of Newham’s 24 wards, including the Stratford and Maryland wards. The Stratford Olympic Park ward is one of the two it leaves out, with Royal Victoria. Shared houses come under Newham’s HMO licensing instead.

Newham’s online application will not let you continue without the property’s certificates: an Energy Performance Certificate, a gas safety certificate and an electrical installation condition report (EICR).

Homes in Stratford

Why homes in Stratford rate as they do

Stratford spans the East Village apartments of the former athletes’ village, 2010s towers around the International Quarter, long Victorian terraces near Maryland and Forest Lane, and post-war ex-local-authority blocks. New E20 stock sits a short walk from much older E15 terraced streets.

For East Village and International Quarter apartments, details of the communal heating and any heating controls you can reach help the assessment. For Maryland terraces, evidence of insulation, extensions and loft conversions can be relevant. The rating comes from the construction and the systems recorded at the visit; an E15 or E20 postcode does not decide it.

25.0% of Stratford’s certificates record system-built walls, against 8.8% across London, and 17.8% record communal heating, against 10.8%. Both fit a place where 67.0% of certificates are for flats or maisonettes.

What the certificates record in Stratford and across London
Recorded on the certificate	Stratford	London
Built before 1930	21.6%	31.3%
Solid walls, no added insulation	31.9%	48.1%
Cavity walls, insulated	25.8%	24.4%
Mains gas boiler	68.1%	76.2%
Communal heating	17.8%	10.8%
Electric heating	13.8%	12.2%

On 87.3% of the certificates rated D or lower, the potential rating (every recommendation carried out) is C or better.

Next to Stratford

A recent job in Stratford

June 2026, Stratford E15. A three-bedroom mid-terrace house of 87 m², rated C (71). The certificate records the cavity walls as built, with no insulation, which is what the method uses when there is no evidence that the cavity was filled later. The loft was recorded as insulated, the windows as double glazed, and the heating as a gas boiler with a programmer, room thermostat and radiator valves.

The first recommendation was cavity wall insulation. With every recommendation carried out, the potential rating was C (78).

Conservation areas in Stratford

Three of Newham’s nine conservation areas are in Stratford E15: Stratford St John’s, Sugar House Lane and University. In a conservation area Newham says you may need planning permission for work that would not normally need it, such as changing windows or doors.

If an EPC recommendation involves the outside of a home in one of these areas, check with Newham’s planning team before the work is booked. Newham notes that Sugar House Lane was in the area formerly covered by the London Legacy Development Corporation.

Questions

EPC questions for Stratford

Does my Stratford rental need a property licence?

If it is in the Stratford or Maryland ward and let to one household or two sharers, Newham’s selective licensing scheme applies until 31 May 2028. The Stratford Olympic Park ward is outside that scheme. Shared houses need an HMO licence instead. Newham’s licensing team can confirm which applies to your address.

How do homes in E15 and E20 compare?

In E20, 100.0% of the 564 certificates lodged since January 2023 are rated A to C, with a typical size of 73 m². In E15 it is 68.8% of 6,569, with a typical size of 66 m². Most E20 homes are recent apartments; E15 mixes Victorian terraces, post-war blocks and newer flats.

Do you cover East Village and the Olympic Park?

Yes. E20 is next to our base in E15, and the price is the same as anywhere else in London. For a flat in a managed block, tell us about the concierge or entry arrangements when you book so the visit can be set up.

Do I need planning permission to change windows in a Stratford conservation area?

Possibly. Newham says work that would not normally need planning permission, such as changing windows or doors, may need it in a conservation area. Stratford St John’s, Sugar House Lane and University are the three in E15.
