What to expect from an EICR in Southgate
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.
Nearly half of homes in Southgate Green, the census neighbourhood matched to this page, have four or more bedrooms: 48%, against 18% across London. Council tax records for the same area date half of all homes, 50%, to between the wars and 33% to before 1919. In houses of those ages, the wiring has normally been replaced, often in stages, and extensions and loft conversions add circuits of their own. The EICR covers all of it. On a larger house, that means more circuits, more rooms and sometimes a second consumer unit, so the visit takes longer than for a flat.
Owner occupation stands out: 77% of households own their home, against 45% across London, and 20% rent privately. Social renting is rare, at 3%. Houses of this size often have power running beyond the house itself, to garden rooms, outbuildings or outside lighting. All of that is part of the fixed installation. Where a cable runs underground to a garden building, the electrician checks how it is protected, and whether RCD protection covers it where the current standard expects it.
There are 7 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Southgate. Southgate House (now part of Minchenden Secondary School) is grade II*, and Avington Cottage is grade II, with listed buildings on High Street too. If you let a listed home, raise it early, as remedial work that alters historic fabric can need listed building consent while the EICR itself needs none. Part of N14 lies in Barnet rather than Enfield, which changes nothing about the inspection.
Booking a visit in Southgate
Getting in
Someone needs to let the electrician in. We need every room, the consumer unit and any loft, garage or outbuilding that has power.
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 Enfield
From Enfield Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Enfield licenses shared homes across the borough (since 1 September 2025) and, since 1 September 2026, single-household lets in 17 wards, including Edmonton Green, Palmers Green, Southgate and Bowes.
On the Enfield side of Southgate, addresses are mostly in Southgate and Arnos Grove wards. Southgate is inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence; Arnos Grove is not. Part of the area is in Barnet: Brunswick Park ward is outside Barnet's selective licensing area. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
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 Southgate
How much does an EICR cost in Southgate?
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 Enfield?
It depends on the ward. Shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in Enfield, and since 1 September 2026 single-household lets need a selective licence in 17 wards until 31 August 2031.
My Southgate house has a second consumer unit for its extension. Will one EICR cover both boards?
Yes. One EICR covers the whole fixed installation at the address, including a second consumer unit and the cable that feeds it from the main board. Mention each board when you arrange the visit, so enough time is allowed. If part of the property has its own separate supply and meter, such as an annexe, it is a separate installation and may need its own report.
How soon can you visit Southgate?
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.
