What to expect from an EICR in Tulse Hill
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.
This page's census figures describe West Dulwich, the neighbourhood the Census uses for Tulse Hill. There, 63% of homes are flats, with 27% in converted houses against 11% across London. Council tax records date 59% of homes to before 1919 and only 6% to 2000 or later, against 18% across London. In the older houses, wiring has been replaced over the years, often one flat or one floor at a time. The EICR is about how those later jobs fit together, and whether the earthing and bonding kept pace with them.
Two kinds of let sit side by side. One is a flat in a converted house, which usually has its own meter and consumer unit, with a landlord supply for the shared hall. The other is a flat in a purpose-built block, 34% of homes, where the consumer unit is often in a hallway cupboard. Social renting is above the London level, at 33% against 23%, so a privately let flat in a block may share it with social tenants. In both cases, your EICR covers the installation serving your home.
West Norwood Fire Station, grade II, is one of 2 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Tulse Hill. Listing affects remedial work, not the inspection, so check your building's status if repairs follow. Homes with four or more bedrooms are slightly more common than across London, at 20% against 18%. A big house has more circuits to test. Before the visit, clear the route to the consumer unit and any loft hatch, and warn anyone at home that the power will go off for short spells.

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 Tulse Hill, most addresses are in Knight's Hill, West Dulwich and St Martin's 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.
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 Tulse Hill
How much does an EICR cost in Tulse Hill?
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.
I'm buying a Tulse Hill house built before 1919. Is an EICR worth having first?
Yes, if the seller agrees to the visit. No law requires one for a home you will live in, but an EICR tells you the condition of the wiring, the consumer unit, the earthing and the bonding. A general survey usually looks at the electrics only visually. In a house of that age, the report shows how far past rewiring went and what still needs attention, so you can plan any remedial work before you commit.
How soon can you visit Tulse Hill?
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.
