What to expect from an EICR in Bellingham
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.
Beckenham Hill is the census neighbourhood used for Bellingham's figures. It has 3,044 households, and 63% of its homes are flats. Council tax records date only 2% of homes to before 1919, while 17% come from 1945 to 1972 and 11% from 2000 or later. For the many homes built between the wars, the EICR is really an inspection of later work: which rewire came when, and how well each part was done. Circuits added at different times may share one consumer unit. The report records where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard and codes each point by risk.
Nearly half of households, 48%, rent from a council or housing association, more than twice London's 23%. Two-bedroom homes are common too, at 43% against 31%. If you let a leasehold flat in a block owned by a council or housing association, your EICR stops at your flat's installation. The electrician may still notice something outside it, such as damaged stair lighting or a loose cover in a shared cupboard. That isn't part of your remedial work. Pass it to the freeholder, who looks after the building's own wiring.
Houses make up much of the rest, with 20% terraced and 14% semi-detached. In a house, the inspection runs from the meter through every circuit, including those added for a kitchen extension or loft room. If any of that work came with certificates, keep them to hand. The count covers only 300 m around the centre of Bellingham, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned.
Booking a visit in Bellingham
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 Lewisham
From Lewisham Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Lewisham licenses shared homes across the borough until 4 April 2027, and single-household lets almost everywhere since 1 July 2024. The selective scheme covers every area except Telegraph Hill and a small part of Blackheath, so check the exact address with the council.
Lewisham asks for an EICR with selective licence applications.
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 Bellingham
How much does an EICR cost in Bellingham?
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 Lewisham?
Almost certainly. Selective licensing covers all of Lewisham except Telegraph Hill and a small part of Blackheath until 1 July 2029, and smaller shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough.
I've had remedial work done on my Bellingham flat after its EICR. Who needs to know?
Your tenant and the council. Once the work is complete, get written confirmation from the electrician that it has been done, and send a copy to your tenant and to the council within 28 days of completion. Keep the confirmation with the EICR. The report itself isn't reissued, so the two documents together show the installation is now in order.
How soon can you visit Bellingham?
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.
