What to expect from an EICR in Fitzrovia
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.
Fitzrovia East & Bloomsbury West, the census neighbourhood used for Fitzrovia, has 2,107 households, and 51% of them rent from a private landlord, against 30% across London. Council tax records show very little housing from 1945 to 1972, just 2% against 17% across London. Most homes are older: 44% from before 1919 and 25% from between the wars, with 19% from 1973 to 1999 and 9% since 2000. So an EICR here usually takes place in a building whose wiring has been replaced at least once, often in stages.
Where rewiring happened in stages, the joins are what matter. A kitchen rewired along with the consumer unit, bedrooms left on older cable, a lighting circuit extended into a loft room: each leaves a place where new work meets old. The electrician checks that every circuit has a suitable protective device, that cable sizes match the load, and that RCD protection is in place where the current standard expects it. A shortfall isn't automatically a failure. The report codes each one by risk, and C1, C2 and FI items need action within 28 days or sooner.
Fitzrovia's streets carry plenty of listing, with Goodge Street, Cleveland Street, Maple Street and Great Titchfield Street among them. Within 300 m of the centre of Fitzrovia there are 64 listed buildings, 2 grade I and 7 grade II*. The Middlesex Hospital Chapel is grade II* and The King and Queen Public House grade II. The inspection needs no consent in any of them. W1T also covers part of Westminster, so give the full address. Agree the time of the visit with whoever lives there.
Booking a visit in Fitzrovia
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 W1T. 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 Camden
From Camden Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Camden licenses shared homes across the whole borough. Its third borough-wide additional HMO scheme runs from 8 December 2025 to 8 December 2030. There is no selective licensing, so a flat or house let to a single household does not need a Camden licence.
On the Camden side of Fitzrovia, addresses are mostly in Bloomsbury ward. Camden Council has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Part of the area is in Westminster: West End ward is inside Westminster's selective licensing area, so a single-household let there generally needs a Westminster licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Camden's licence conditions require a current test certificate for the fixed electrical installation.
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 Fitzrovia
How much does an EICR cost in Fitzrovia?
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 W1T. 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 W1T?
Yes. W1T 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 Camden?
Only if it's shared. A home let to people from more than one household usually needs an HMO licence anywhere in Camden (additional licensing runs to 8 December 2030). A flat let to one household doesn't need a licence, but it still needs a valid EICR.
My Fitzrovia flat was rewired in stages. Will the EICR show which parts are older?
Usually, yes. The electrician inspects the consumer unit, cable types and accessories, and tests each circuit, which normally shows where newer work meets older wiring. The report describes each circuit and codes any defect by risk, so you can see which parts fall short of the current standard. Where something can't be confirmed without opening up, it may be marked FI for further investigation.
How soon can you visit Fitzrovia?
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.
