What to expect from an EICR in Moorgate
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Here's what the local housing means for yours.
Moorgate has no census figures of its own. They come from the City of London, which the Census reports as one area of 4,914 households, and 53% of those homes have one bedroom, against 21% across London. Council tax records show three building periods side by side: 22% of homes built before 1919, 40% from 1945 to 1972 and 27% since 2000, with almost nothing from between the wars. A small flat in a block from any of those periods can still hold wiring of several ages, so the EICR tests each circuit rather than assuming anything from the building's date.
Heating sets the City of London apart from the rest of the capital. 39% of homes there use electricity alone for heat, three times London's 13%. That doesn't mean the building has no gas, but it does mean heaters and hot water draw heavily on the flat's own circuits, often for hours at a time. Storage heaters often run on a separate off-peak circuit, sometimes from a second consumer unit. The electrician checks that each heating circuit has suitable cable and protection, and looks for heat damage at isolators, spurs and terminals.
Lutyens House and Armourers and Braziers Hall are both grade II*. They are among 34 listed buildings within 300 m of Moorgate station, 3 of them grade II*. Coleman Street, Chiswell Street and Finsbury Avenue all have listed buildings. An EICR needs no consent in any of them. If the flat has storage heaters fed from a second meter or consumer unit, say where it is, so the electrician can reach both on the same visit. EC2 also takes in part of Hackney, so give the full address.
Booking a visit in Moorgate
Getting in
Tell us who holds the keys and whether a concierge, porter or managing agent needs notice. We need access to the flat and to its consumer unit, wherever that sits in the building.
Tenants
If the home is let, give us your tenant's name and number when you book and we'll agree the time with them directly.
Central London fee
The £21.60 Central London fee applies to EC2. It covers the congestion charge and the extra travel time, and it's shown in your price before you book.
Licensing and landlord rules in the City of London
From City of London Corporation's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
The City of London runs no additional or selective licensing. Only larger shared homes (5 or more people from 2 or more households) need a mandatory HMO licence, and the City's HMO standards ask for the electrical installation to be tested at least every 5 years.
On the the City of London side of Moorgate, addresses are mostly in Coleman Street ward. The City has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Part of the area is in Hackney: Hoxton East & Shoreditch ward is outside Hackney's selective licensing area. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Wherever you let in England, the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Any remedial work or further investigation the report requires must be done within 28 days, or sooner if it says so, and written confirmation that it's finished goes to the tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.

Questions about EICRs in Moorgate
How much does an EICR cost in Moorgate?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms, plus the £21.60 Central London fee that applies to EC2. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Is there a Central London fee for EC2?
Yes. EC2 is a Central London postcode, so a £21.60 fee including VAT is added to the price. It covers the congestion charge and the extra travel time, and it's shown before you book.
Do I need a licence to let a property in the City?
Usually not. The City has no selective or additional licensing, so only larger HMOs (5 or more people from 2 or more households) need a licence. You still need a valid EICR for any rented home.
My Moorgate flat has electric storage heaters. Does the EICR check them?
Yes, it checks the fixed wiring that feeds them, though not how well they heat. Storage heaters often have their own off-peak circuit, sometimes from a separate consumer unit, and the electrician inspects that circuit, the isolators and connections, and the protective devices. Any sign of overheating is recorded and coded by risk. Servicing the heaters themselves is a separate job. With 39% of homes in the City of London heated only by electricity, it is a routine part of an EICR here.
How soon can you visit Moorgate?
Online booking shows days up to 2 weeks ahead. Standard arrival windows are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday; after 4pm and weekends are on request and may carry an additional charge. Pick the day that suits you or your tenant and we'll confirm the time. If you're up against a tenancy deadline, call 0203 811 8331.
Does an EICR for my flat cover the communal areas?
No. Your EICR covers the installation that serves your flat, from its consumer unit to its sockets, lights and fixed appliances. Hallway lighting, door entry and other communal circuits belong to the freeholder or managing agent, who arranges their own inspection.
