What to expect from an EICR in Kilburn
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.
Kilburn West, the census neighbourhood used here, has a lot of small flats. 38% of homes have one bedroom, against 21% across London, and only 14% are terraced houses. Council tax records for the same neighbourhood put 79% of homes before 1919. When houses of that age are divided, the wiring tends to be a patchwork: some circuits replaced at conversion, others added later by different hands. The EICR tests each circuit in turn and records where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard, whatever the age of the part being tested.
Two figures stand out together. 43% of homes are flats in converted houses, almost four times London's 11%, and 44% of households rent from a private landlord, against 30% across London. Where a let flat is one of several in a divided house, it is a separate installation with its own EICR. The landlord supply for the hall lighting and door entry is another installation again, and the freeholder is responsible for it. Owning one flat does not make you responsible for the others.
Practical details decide how smoothly the visit goes. In a divided house, the electrician has to get through a shared front door before reaching the flat, and testing switches the flat's circuits off for periods, so whoever is at home should expect that. No listed buildings are recorded within 300 m of the centre of Kilburn. NW6 also takes in part of Camden. If the report leads to remedial work, written confirmation of the completed work goes to your tenant and to the council covering your exact address, within 28 days of completion.

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 Brent
From Brent Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Brent licenses shared homes across the borough (2 February 2026 to 2 February 2031) and single-household lets in every ward except Wembley Park.
On the Brent side of Kilburn, addresses are mostly in Kilburn and Queens Park wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Part of the area is in Camden: Kilburn ward is outside Camden's selective licensing area. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Brent's HMO licence conditions require a current electrical report (within the last 5 years) within 28 days of a 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 Kilburn
How much does an EICR cost in Kilburn?
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 Brent?
Almost certainly, unless the home is in Wembley Park ward. Selective licensing covers every other Brent ward, and shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough.
My Kilburn flat's meter and consumer unit are in the shared hallway. Can you still test them?
Yes. The EICR covers your flat's installation wherever its consumer unit sits, including a cupboard in a shared hallway or under the stairs. The electrician needs to open it and switch circuits off during testing, so check whether it is locked and who holds the key. If the same cupboard holds the landlord supply, that part is the freeholder's to inspect.
How soon can you visit Kilburn?
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.
