What to expect from an EICR in Friern Barnet
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 Friern Barnet, purpose-built blocks hold fewer of the flats than is usual in London: 29% of homes, against 40%. More sit in converted houses, above shops or in other converted buildings. Council tax records show a wide age range, from homes built before 1919 to 18% from 1973 to 1999, against 13% across London. Older homes have usually been rewired in parts, so circuits of different ages can share a consumer unit. Homes from 1973 to 1999 may keep their original wiring, with protection that falls short of what the current standard expects.
Flats above shops or in other converted buildings make up 6% of homes, double the London share of 3%. Converted houses add another 13%, against 11% across London. Buildings like these rarely follow a single layout. Meters may sit in a shared hall, under the stairs, at the back of a shop or in a rear passage, and they are not always labelled. Before the visit, find out where your flat's meter is and who can open the way to it. If it is reached through a shop, the shop's opening hours decide when the electrician can start.
Two listed buildings stand within 300 m of the centre of Friern Barnet. The Church of St John the Evangelist is grade II*, and the Former Friern Barnet Town Hall is grade II. If your flat is inside a listed building, the inspection needs no consent, but remedial work that alters historic fabric can. Ownership is high, at 59% of households against 45% across London, so many homes here are not let at all. For an owner, an EICR is optional, but it is a useful record before selling or before building work changes the wiring.

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 Barnet
From Barnet Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Barnet licenses shared homes across the borough until 27 October 2027. The council has proposed selective licensing for 10 wards, including Golders Green, Hendon, West Hendon, Colindale and Finchley Church End, but no selective scheme is in force yet.
Around Friern Barnet, most addresses are in Friern Barnet ward. Barnet 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.
Barnet's licence conditions require a current electrical test certificate, less than 5 years old, on request.
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 Friern Barnet
How much does an EICR cost in Friern Barnet?
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.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Barnet?
Only if it's shared, for now. Smaller HMOs need an additional licence anywhere in Barnet until 27 October 2027. Selective licensing for 10 wards has been proposed but is not in force.
My Friern Barnet flat is above a shop: does it need a different kind of EICR?
No. A flat above a shop gets the same domestic EICR as any other flat, covering the installation from its own consumer unit. The shop below is normally on a separate supply and should be inspected too, since the regulations don't cover it but whoever owns the building must keep it safe. If you own the shop as well, tell us when you book so both can be inspected on the same visit.
How soon can you visit Friern Barnet?
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.
