What to expect from an EICR in Hendon
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 Hendon Central, the census area used for these figures, flats in blocks sit alongside a smaller number of large houses. Detached houses make up 14% of homes, more than twice London's 6%, and 26% have four or more bedrooms, against 18%. Council tax records put the largest group, 35%, between the wars, followed by before 1919 at 27% and 1945 to 1972 at 21%. Installations of these ages have often been rewired, but an older consumer unit may remain, with RCD protection missing on circuits where the current standard expects it.
Private renting reaches 50% of households, against 30% across London, and 38% own their home. Homes here range from flats in blocks to whole detached houses, and each raises different points for an inspection. In a block, the consumer unit is usually in a hallway cupboard, and a managing agent often controls the meter room. Flats in converted houses account for 16% of homes, against 11% in London, and each usually has its own meter and consumer unit. In a large house, extensions and outbuildings may run from a second consumer unit.
The one listed building within 300 m of Hendon Central is Hendon Central Underground Station, grade II. For most lets, the practical points are access and paperwork. Certificates from a consumer unit change, a rewire or an extension show what was altered, and the previous EICR shows what was found last time. If the last report listed C3 recommendations, it is worth knowing whether any were acted on. A house with a second consumer unit, a loft conversion or a garden room supplied from it needs more time on the day.
Booking a visit in Hendon
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 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 Hendon, most addresses are in Hendon and West Hendon wards. 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 Hendon
How much does an EICR cost in Hendon?
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 Hendon tenant has been in place for years: does the EICR rule apply to an existing tenancy?
Yes. The rule covers existing tenancies as well as fresh ones. A privately rented home needs an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the last report says so, and the tenant must receive a copy within 28 days of the inspection. If you have no current report, book one now. Keep a copy yourself, along with written confirmation of any remedial work, which goes to your tenant and to the council within 28 days of completion.
How soon can you visit Hendon?
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.
