What to expect from an EICR in Homerton
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.
Homerton South is the ONS neighbourhood these figures describe, and 42% of its homes have two bedrooms, against 31% across London. Council tax records date only 7% of homes to before 1919, and the largest group, 55%, to the years 1945 to 1972. Flats of that age may have been updated, but not always in one go. A newer consumer unit can sit in front of older circuits, or a kitchen may have been rewired while the bedrooms kept their original cable. The EICR tests insulation on the older circuits and records where RCD protection or earthing falls short of the current standard.
Social housing dominates the tenure picture. 62% of households rent from a social landlord, nearly three times London's 23%, and only 17% rent privately. If you hold a long lease on a flat in one of these blocks and let it, the EICR covers the flat's installation from its consumer unit onwards. The meter and main fuse belong to the supplier and network operator, and the block's shared circuits to the freeholder. The electrician still looks at what is visible at your intake and records anything that appears unsafe, so you can pass it to whoever is responsible.
Access is the practical point in blocks like these. The consumer unit is often in a hallway cupboard near the front door, and the electrician needs to reach sockets, switches and fittings in every room. Anyone at home should expect each circuit to go off in turn. The listing picture is modest: 8 listed buildings stand within 300 m of Homerton station. They include the Church of St Barnabas and St Barnabas's Vicarage, both grade II, with others on Homerton High Street. If your building is listed, the inspection needs no consent, though remedial work that alters historic fabric can.
Booking a visit in Homerton
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.
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 Hackney
From Hackney Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Hackney licenses shared homes across the borough and single-household lets in 17 wards. Both schemes started on 1 May 2026 and run to 30 April 2031.
Around Homerton, most addresses are in Homerton, Hackney Wick and Victoria wards, all inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Hackney asks for an EICR with 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.

My Homerton flat's meter is in a locked riser. How does the electrician reach it?
Arrange a key from the freeholder or managing agent before the visit. The electrician needs the meter position to check the incoming supply and the main earthing, and the consumer unit to test each circuit. If the riser can't be opened on the day, those checks are limited and the report will record the limitation. Tell us who holds the key when you book.
How soon can you visit Homerton?
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.
