What to expect from an EICR in New Cross Gate
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.
In Telegraph Hill, the ONS census area used here, 71% of homes are flats, against 54% across London. Council tax records show building in two phases. Almost nothing dates from between the wars, under 1% against 22% across London, while 20% comes from 1945 to 1972 and most homes predate 1919. The older houses carry wiring renewed in stages, so the EICR looks at how later circuits meet earlier ones and where RCD protection stops. Flats in the later blocks can still have an older consumer unit.
Converted houses set this neighbourhood apart: a third of homes are flats in converted houses, three times London's 11%. In a conversion, each flat usually has its own meter and consumer unit, and the freeholder's supply runs the hall lights. The age of each flat's installation depends on when it was last refitted rather than when the house was divided, so the report reflects that flat alone. Social renting is also above average, at 34% against 23% across London. A leaseholder who lets a flat in a council or housing association block carries the EICR duty for that flat.
Within 300 m of New Cross Gate there are 10 listed buildings, including The White Hart and The Five Bells Public House, both grade II. Queens Road has listed buildings along it. A flat in a listed building needs no consent for the inspection itself. Remedial work is different: chasing new cable routes into old walls can need listed building consent, so surface routes are often weighed up first. Knowing the status early keeps any repair plan realistic.

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 New Cross Gate
How much does an EICR cost in New Cross Gate?
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.
My New Cross Gate flat's wiring runs through the flat below. Can the EICR still be done?
Yes. The EICR tests every circuit from your consumer unit, wherever the cables run. What changes is the visual inspection: the electrician only examines parts that can be reached without lifting floors or entering another flat, and anything hidden is recorded as a limitation in the report. If testing points to a fault on a hidden section, tracing it may need access to the other flat later.
How soon can you visit New Cross Gate?
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.
