What to expect from an EICR in Camberwell
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.
Camberwell Green is the census neighbourhood behind this page. Its 5,018 households live almost entirely in flats, at 93% of homes, and purpose-built blocks alone hold 82%, about twice London's 40%. Council tax records make 1945 to 1972 the largest building period, at 40% of homes. Another 22% date from 2000 or later. Flats in blocks from those post-war decades were often updated one at a time, so two flats on the same landing can have quite different installations. The EICR judges yours on its own: the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, and RCD protection where the current standard expects it.
Two figures stand out. 55% of households rent from a council or housing association, against 23% across London, and 19% of homes use communal or district heating, against 3%. For a leaseholder who lets, the freeholder controls much of what surrounds the flat: the heating plant, stair lighting, entry systems and often the meter cupboards. Your report deals with the flat's own installation, from where its supply comes in to the last socket. Faults in the building's own wiring, if the electrician spots any, go to the freeholder to fix.
Listed buildings are part of the picture near the centre. There are 9 within 300 m of the centre of Camberwell, including the Regal Cinema and Camberwell Public Baths, each grade II. Camberwell Church Street and Camberwell New Road both have listed buildings. If your home is in a listed building, the EICR needs no consent, though remedial work that alters historic fabric can. SE5 also reaches into Lambeth, so check which council covers the exact address.

Licensing and landlord rules in Southwark
From Southwark Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Southwark licenses shared homes across the borough until 1 March 2027, and single-household lets in 19 wards, from Rotherhithe and Surrey Docks to Peckham, Camberwell and Dulwich.
Around Camberwell, most addresses are in Camberwell Green and St Giles wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Southwark asks for an electrical safety certificate with 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 Camberwell
How much does an EICR cost in Camberwell?
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 Southwark?
In most of Southwark, yes. Selective licensing covers 19 wards and smaller shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough (that scheme runs to 1 March 2027).
My Camberwell flat has a replacement consumer unit. Does that mean it was rewired?
Not necessarily. A consumer unit is often replaced on its own, leaving the original circuits in place behind it. The EICR tests those circuits, not just the unit, so it shows whether the cable, earthing and bonding are in good order. If you have the certificate for the consumer unit change, keep it to hand, because it shows what was tested at the time.
How soon can you visit Camberwell?
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.
