EICR certificate cost for landlords in London

Current residential flat inspections are listed from £119 for a studio to £169 for four or more bedrooms, excluding VAT. Houses are listed from £149 for one bedroom to £209 for five or more bedrooms, also excluding VAT. VAT is 20%.

A central London travel fee of £18 excluding VAT can apply. Parking is not a fixed figure. Commercial and mixed-use installations are quoted manually and are not priced from the flat or house card.

Those amounts are the inspection and the condition report. Remedial work, a return visit after a limitation, or further investigation is a separate quotation once the report exists.

For a residential inspection, get your exact price for the property, including VAT and any calculated Central London travel fee. Parking is additional where applicable.

• Whether the property is a flat or a house, and how many bedrooms the rate card uses.
• Whether the installation is residential. A shop, HMO with a commercial board, or mixed-use premises is not priced as a flat.
• Access to the consumer unit, meter and the rooms that are in the agreed extent.
• A central London travel fee, and parking that has to be paid on the day.
• Anything the report later requires, which is not included in the inspection price.

To arrange a rented-property inspection with tenant or agent access, use the landlord EICR certificate service. The office confirms the scope, price and appointment.

The report may record C1, C2, C3 or FI observations. A C1 or C2 makes the technical outcome unsatisfactory. An FI observation does not, by itself, under the current A4:2026 format. None of those codes is a price, and none of them is included in the inspection fee.

For a specified tenancy in England, regulation 3(4) can require further investigative or remedial work within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, where the report indicates a breach or potential breach and requires that work. That duty is not a reason to invent a repair cost before the observation is read.

Use the EICR certificate cost page and the residential calculator for the figure that applies to the property type. Do not rely on an old blog grid, a year in a heading, or a comparison with another company.

The landlord service page is the place for intervals, copies and what the inspection is for. This article only answers what the quotation is made of.

Electrical classification on an EICR depends on the installation, the observations recorded and competent professional judgement. Always read your own report and seek competent advice for your property.
