What to expect from an EICR in Highams Park
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.
In Highams Park East, the census neighbourhood used for this page, 40% of homes have three bedrooms and 28% have four or more, both above London's 30% and 18%. Council tax records date 42% of homes to between the wars, 26% to before 1919 and 19% to 1945 to 1972. A house from between the wars has usually been rewired once, often long ago, and extended since. The EICR tests the installation as it now stands, old and new together. It records whether RCD protection covers the circuits where the current standard expects it.
Terraced houses make up 40% of homes, nearly twice London's 21%, with semi-detached houses at 26%. In a terrace built between the wars, the main earthing at the meter position and the bonding to gas and water pipes both deserve attention. What is expected today differs from what the houses were built with. The report notes where either falls short and codes it by risk. Additions are the other theme: loft rooms, kitchen extensions and garden rooms each bring circuits, and sometimes a second consumer unit, which are tested with the rest.
Owner-occupiers make up 68% of households, against 45% across London, and only 19% rent privately. For an owner living in the house, an EICR is a check rather than a duty. It is most useful before building work, soon after buying, or ahead of a sale. No listed buildings stand within 300 m of the centre of Highams Park, but the count covers only that radius, so check a house's status before repairs are planned. A bigger house simply takes longer, so allow time and keep the loft hatch and any cupboard holding a consumer unit clear.

Licensing and landlord rules in Waltham Forest
From Waltham Forest Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Waltham Forest licenses shared homes across the borough until 31 March 2030, and single-household lets in 20 of its 22 wards (all except Hatch Lane and Highams Park North, and Endlebury) until 30 April 2030.
Around Highams Park, most addresses are in Hatch Lane & Highams Park North, Larkswood and Hale End & Highams Park South wards. Larkswood and Hale End & Highams Park South are inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence; Hatch Lane & Highams Park North is not. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Waltham Forest asks for an electrical certificate with HMO licence applications.
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.

I'm letting my Highams Park house for the first time. When should the EICR be done?
Before the tenancy starts. The tenants must receive a copy before they move in. After that, the house needs an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. If the report records C1, C2 or FI items, the remedial work or investigation must be done within 28 days or sooner, so booking a few weeks before the move-in date leaves time for any work.
How soon can you visit Highams Park?
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.
Will you test a garage, shed or garden room?
Yes, if it's supplied from the house's electrics. Tell us about it when you book so we allow the time, and it's included in the report with the rest of the installation.
