What to expect from an EICR in Hampstead
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.
Census figures here describe Frognal, where 78% of homes are flats, and many are in houses that were built as single homes and later divided. Council tax records show that more than half of all homes date from before 1919. In a house built before 1919, the wiring will almost always have been replaced, often more than once: when the house was converted, and again as each flat was refurbished. Each circuit fed from the flat's consumer unit is tested. The report records where RCD protection or earthing falls short of the current standard, and looks for older wiring still in use alongside newer work.
Listed status is a real question for many homes here. Within 300 m of the centre of Hampstead there are 219 listed buildings, 5 at grade I and 20 at grade II*. Fenton House, Burgh House and the Church of St John are all grade I. The Roman Catholic Church of St Mary is grade II*. Listed buildings also stand on Church Row, Flask Walk, Heath Street, Hampstead High Street, New End Square and Elm Row. Listing does not affect the EICR, but remedial work that alters historic fabric can need listed building consent.
At 40% of households, against 30% across London, private renting is above the London level. For a let flat in a converted house, the practical questions are where the meter sits and how the electrician reaches it: basement, hall cupboard and under-stairs positions are all common. Listed status is the other thing to know in advance. Remedial work has a 28-day deadline, or a shorter one if the report sets it, and consent for work that alters historic fabric can take longer to obtain. Knowing the status early gives you time to plan.
Booking a visit in Hampstead
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 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 Hampstead, most addresses are in Hampstead Town and Frognal wards. 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 Hampstead
How much does an EICR cost in Hampstead?
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 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 flat on Church Row is in a listed building: will the electrician need to lift floorboards?
No. An EICR is a non-invasive inspection. The electrician opens the consumer unit, removes the covers of a sample of sockets and switches, and tests the circuits from accessible points. Nothing is cut into, chased or lifted, so the inspection needs no consent. Consent becomes relevant only if the report leads to remedial work that alters historic fabric.
How soon can you visit Hampstead?
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.
