What to expect from an EICR in Streatham
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.
Streatham Central is the census neighbourhood used for this page, and 65% of its homes are flats. Council tax records date 45% of homes to before 1919 and 31% to between 1919 and 1939, so most of the stock predates 1939. Only 9% was built in 2000 or later. Installations in older buildings are often renewed piecemeal: a rewire one year, a replacement consumer unit another. The inspection tests every circuit, including any a past rewire missed, and records where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard.
Conversions stand out most. Flats in converted houses make up 25% of homes, more than twice London's 11%. A conversion done years ago can leave untidy arrangements, such as one flat's meter in another flat's cupboard, or a cable for one flat running through the next. Each flat usually has its own meter and consumer unit, with a separate landlord supply for the hall and stairs. The EICR identifies which circuits belong to your flat and records anything that crosses into a neighbour's supply.
Larger homes add time to a visit. 24% of homes here have four or more bedrooms, against 18% across London, and a big house can have a second consumer unit for an extension or loft room. Have every consumer unit and the loft hatch clear before the electrician arrives. Listed status matters only if remedial work follows. There are 3 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Streatham, among them Streatham Tate Library and Hall and Trinity Reformed Church, both grade II.

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 Lambeth
From Lambeth Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Lambeth licenses single-household lets in every ward except Vauxhall and Waterloo and South Bank, after the second phase of its selective scheme started on 1 September 2025. Its borough-wide additional HMO scheme runs to 8 December 2026.
Around Streatham, most addresses are in Streatham St Leonard's and Streatham Wells 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.
Lambeth asks for an EICR with selective licence applications and expects any C1 or C2 items to be put right.
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 Streatham
How much does an EICR cost in Streatham?
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 Lambeth?
In most of Lambeth, yes. Selective licensing covers every ward except Vauxhall and Waterloo and South Bank, and shared homes need an additional HMO licence anywhere in the borough until 8 December 2026.
My Streatham house has been extended more than once. Will the EICR cover each addition?
Yes. The EICR covers the whole fixed installation, so circuits added for an extension, a loft room or a refitted kitchen are inspected and tested with the rest. Additions are sometimes wired from a separate consumer unit, or taken off older circuits, and the report notes how each one is protected. Have any certificates from the building work to hand. Where a part lacks RCD protection that the current standard expects, the report codes it by risk.
How soon can you visit Streatham?
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.
