What to expect from an EICR in Peckham
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.
Peckham North, the census neighbourhood used for this page, has newer housing than most of London. Council tax records date 34% of homes to 2000 or later, against 18% across London, and only 23% to before 1919. 62% of homes are purpose-built flats, well above the 40% London figure. 49% are rented from a social landlord, more than twice the 23% across London. 30% of homes have three bedrooms, the same as London. For the inspection this means fewer converted houses and more blocks. The age of the block sets what the electrician expects to find.
Communal heating is the figure that stands out most. 16% of homes in Peckham North rely on communal or district heating alone, against 3% across London. In those flats the EICR covers the wiring that feeds the heat interface unit and any room controls wired from the flat's consumer unit, with their protection and connections. The unit's pump, valves and heat meter are heating equipment that belongs to the heating network. The other large group is blocks from 1945 to 1972, 22% of homes. There, the report records where earthing, bonding or RCD protection falls short of the current standard and codes each point by risk.
A flat wired from about 2008 usually has wide RCD protection, but one finished in the early 2000s may have it on the sockets only. In either case the electrician needs the flat's consumer unit and its meter. In a recent block the meter may be in a cupboard on the landing, or in a ground-floor meter room held by the managing agent. There are 5 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Peckham, on Peckham Hill Street, Friary Road and Peckham High Street. The count covers only 300 m, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned.

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 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 Peckham, most addresses are in Peckham, Rye Lane and Old Kent Road wards, all 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 Peckham
How much does an EICR cost in Peckham?
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 Peckham flat is in a housing association block built since 2000. Does it still need an EICR?
Yes, if it is let. The regulations now cover social lets as well as private ones, so a housing association or council flat needs a report at least every five years, or sooner if the report says so. A flat wired from about 2008 usually has wide RCD protection, so a block of that age tends to pass with few findings. The inspection still tests every circuit and accessory. The landlord supply for the communal areas should be inspected separately by whoever manages the block.
How soon can you visit Peckham?
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.
