Booking a visit in Waterloo
Getting in
Tell us who holds the keys and whether a concierge, porter or managing agent needs notice. We need access to the flat and to its consumer unit, wherever that sits in the building.
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.
Central London fee
The £21.60 Central London fee applies to SE1. It covers the congestion charge and the extra travel time, and it's shown in your price before you book.
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.
On the Lambeth side of Waterloo, addresses are mostly in Waterloo & South Bank ward, which is outside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need a selective licence. Part of the area is in Southwark: Borough & Bankside and St George's wards are outside Southwark's selective licensing area. 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 Waterloo
How much does an EICR cost in Waterloo?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms, plus the £21.60 Central London fee that applies to SE1. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Is there a Central London fee for SE1?
Yes. SE1 is a Central London postcode, so a £21.60 fee including VAT is added to the price. It covers the congestion charge and the extra travel time, and it's shown before you book.
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 Waterloo flat is in a listed building. Does that change the EICR?
Not the inspection. An EICR is non-invasive, so it needs no listed building consent: the electrician removes covers and tests circuits without altering the building. Listing matters if the report leads to remedial work that changes historic fabric, such as new cable routes chased into old walls. That work can need consent first. With 25 listed buildings within 300 m of Waterloo, check your building's status before repairs are planned.
How soon can you visit Waterloo?
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.
Does an EICR for my flat cover the communal areas?
No. Your EICR covers the installation that serves your flat, from its consumer unit to its sockets, lights and fixed appliances. Hallway lighting, door entry and other communal circuits belong to the freeholder or managing agent, who arranges their own inspection.
