What to expect from an EICR in West 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.
The census neighbourhood used for this page is also called West Hampstead. It holds 4,309 households, and 88% of its homes are flats. Council tax records date 65% of homes to before 1919 and only 14% to 2000 or later, against 18% across London. So in most flats here, the building is far older than its wiring. Cable from before 1919 is long past its working life, and what replaced it may come from one rewire or from several. An EICR tests how those layers fit together. The report notes each place where earthing, bonding or RCD protection falls short of the current standard.
Private renting sets West Hampstead apart. 49% of households rent from a private landlord, against 30% across London, and 37% of homes have one bedroom, against 21%. Flats let privately may be refurbished between tenancies, and that is where an installation quietly changes. Extra sockets, a kitchen circuit or new lighting should each come with a certificate from the electrician who did the work. The next EICR then checks those additions along with everything else, including whether they have the RCD protection the current standard expects.
Converted houses hold 34% of homes, three times London's 11%. In a conversion, your flat usually has its own meter and consumer unit. The meters for the whole house may share a cupboard by the front door or under the stairs. It helps to know which is yours. There are 7 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of West Hampstead, among them West Hampstead Fire Station and Emmanuel Church, each grade II. NW6 also reaches into Brent.

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 West Hampstead, most addresses are in West Hampstead and Fortune Green 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 West Hampstead
How much does an EICR cost in West 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.
Do I need a fresh EICR each time a tenant leaves my West Hampstead flat?
No. One EICR covers successive tenancies until its renewal date, which is no more than 5 years after the inspection, or sooner if the report says so. Each new tenant must get a copy before moving in, and existing tenants within 28 days of an inspection. A fresh inspection between tenancies is still worth considering if the flat has been altered since the last report.
How soon can you visit West 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.
