What to expect from an EICR in Raynes Park
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.
Most homes in Raynes Park were built before 1939. Council tax records date 29% of homes to before 1919, level with London, and 41% to between 1919 and 1939. Only 11% were built in 2000 or later, against 18% across London. Original wiring from before 1939 is long past its expected life, so most homes here will have been rewired at least once. The EICR therefore tests the installation as it stands after those rewires. It checks each circuit's condition and protection, and records where the earthing or main bonding falls short of the current standard.
Terraced houses are more common here than across London, at 29% of homes against 21%. A house is one installation, from the meter to the last light, so a single report covers all of it. In houses of this age, the consumer unit has often been replaced on its own, without a full rewire. A newer consumer unit can add RCD protection to older circuits, but it does not renew the cables behind it. The report looks at both, and codes each finding by risk.
A visit to a house covers every floor, so clear the space around the consumer unit and make sure the loft hatch can be reached safely. Some tests need the power off for short spells, which stops freezers, alarms and routers. If there has been electrical work since the last report, such as an electric shower or a rewired kitchen, have its certificate to hand. Half of households here own their home. An owner who later lets takes on the landlord's duty: an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so.

Licensing and landlord rules in Merton
From Merton Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Merton licenses shared homes in 7 wards (Colliers Wood, Cricket Green, Figge's Marsh, Graveney, Lavender Fields, Longthornton and Pollards Hill) and single-household lets in 4 of them, until 23 September 2028.
Around Raynes Park, most addresses are in Raynes Park and West Barnes wards, both outside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need a selective licence. They are outside the additional licensing area, so only larger HMOs there need a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Merton asks for an EICR dated within 5 years 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 Raynes Park
How much does an EICR cost in Raynes Park?
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 Merton?
Only in parts of the borough. Shared homes need an additional licence in 7 Merton wards, and single-household lets need a selective licence in Figge's Marsh, Graveney, Longthornton and Pollards Hill.
Will a Raynes Park house built between the wars need a full rewire after its EICR?
Not necessarily. An EICR reports on condition; it does not prescribe a rewire. Houses of this age may have been rewired before, and later wiring can still be in sound order. The report codes each finding by risk, and many findings are put right with targeted work, such as a replacement consumer unit, added RCD protection or improved bonding. A rewire only comes into it where the cables themselves have deteriorated.
How soon can you visit Raynes Park?
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.
Will you test a garage, shed or garden room?
Yes, if it's supplied from the house's electrics. Tell us about it when you book so we allow the time, and it's included in the report with the rest of the installation.
