What to expect from an EICR in Kentish Town
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.
The census figures on this page describe Tufnell Park West, a neighbourhood where 75% of homes are flats. Council tax records for the same area date 74% of homes to before 1919 and 14% to the years 1945 to 1972. Older buildings like these have usually had their wiring replaced more than once, and not always all at once. A partial rewire can renew the circuits while leaving the consumer unit, the earthing arrangement or the bonding to gas and water pipes as they were. Those parts get close attention, along with the joins between old and new cable.
Conversions shape the housing. Flats in converted houses make up 36% of homes, more than three times London's 11%. Another 6% are flats above shops or in other converted buildings, which is double London's 3% share for that type. In a conversion, each flat usually has its own meter and consumer unit, with a separate landlord supply for the stairs and entry phone. A flat over a business raises a similar question to a flat in a divided house: does every circuit in it start at its own consumer unit? The electrician confirms that during testing.
There are 22 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Kentish Town, all grade II, including The Forum and the Kentish Town Sorting Office, and listed buildings stand on Fortess Road, Leighton Road and Leverton Street. An EICR in a listed building needs no consent. If the report then calls for a new cable route or a relocated consumer unit, that work can need listed building consent where it alters historic fabric, so knowing your building's status before repairs are planned avoids delay.

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 Kentish Town, most addresses are in Kentish Town South, Kentish Town North and Highgate 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 Kentish Town
How much does an EICR cost in Kentish Town?
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 Kentish Town flat is in a converted house. Will the EICR show if any of my circuits are wired from a neighbour's board?
It should. Part of testing is confirming which consumer unit feeds each circuit, and the electrician isolates your board to check that everything in the flat goes dead with it. A light or socket that stays live points to a circuit from another supply. The report records it, because it makes safe isolation harder, and putting it right usually involves the freeholder or the other flat's owner.
How soon can you visit Kentish Town?
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.
