What to expect from an EICR in King's Cross
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.
Somers Town is the census neighbourhood for King's Cross: 3,817 households, of whom 64% rent from a social landlord and only 12% own their home. Council tax records show only 12% of homes were built before 1919, against 29% across London. The largest share, 41%, was built since 2000. A flat wired from about 2008 usually has wide RCD protection, but one finished in the early 2000s may have it on the sockets only. Homes from between the wars and from 1945 to 1972 may have been rewired in parts. The EICR records what each flat actually has, circuit by circuit.
Heat networks matter here: 18% of homes in Somers Town rely only on communal or district heating, six times London's 3%. In a flat on a heat network, heat arrives by pipe from a central plant rather than from a boiler in the kitchen. The EICR covers the wiring that feeds the heat interface unit and any room controls wired from the flat's consumer unit, with their protection and connections. The unit's pump, valves and heat meter are heating equipment that belongs to the heating network. The central plant, and the supply that runs it, are the operator's responsibility.
Only 9 listed buildings stand within 300 m of King's Cross Central, 1 of them grade I. Named ones include The Granary, the Eastern Coal Drops at Kings Cross Goods Yard and the Lock Keepers Cottage on the Grand Union Canal, all grade II. In a newer block, the electrician usually needs a concierge or building manager to open the meter room or riser, so arrange that ahead of the visit. Say too whether the flat is on a heat network. If you let a leasehold flat in a block a social landlord owns, the freeholder looks after the landlord supply and you look after your flat.

Parking
If parking is restricted near the property, tell us when you book and whether a visitor permit is available.
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.
Around King's Cross, most addresses are in King's Cross ward. Camden Council has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. 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 King's Cross
How much does an EICR cost in King's Cross?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms. 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 N1C?
No. The £21.60 Central London fee only applies to EC and WC postcodes, W1, SE1 and SW1. N1C pays the standard price.
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 King's Cross flat was built after 2000. Does it still need an EICR?
Yes, if it is privately let. Every rented home needs an EICR at least every 5 years, however new the building, and new tenants need a copy before they move in. Newer wiring usually has wide RCD protection, but the inspection still tests every circuit and checks any later alterations. In Somers Town, the census neighbourhood used for King's Cross, the largest share of homes was built since 2000.
How soon can you visit King's Cross?
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.
