What to expect from an EICR in Ladbroke Grove
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.
Ladbroke Grove's figures come from Portobello, a census neighbourhood where 43% of homes have one bedroom, against 21% across London. Houses are scarce, with terraced houses at 6% of homes. Council tax records date 76% of homes to before 1919 and just 1% to since 2000. Most installations here have been replaced or altered since they were first put in. A one-bedroom flat has fewer circuits, but the checks are the same as in a larger home. They cover the consumer unit, every circuit, RCD protection, earthing and the bonding to gas and water pipes.
More than half of households here, 55%, rent from a council or housing association, against 23% across London. Only 17% own their home. Where a flat in a council or housing association block has been sold on a long lease and is now let privately, the EICR covers that flat's own installation. Arranging it falls to whoever lets it. The block's shared wiring stays with the freeholder. Meters in such blocks are often in locked cupboards or intake rooms, so the key may have to come from the housing office before the visit.
Converted houses hold 39% of homes, more than three times London's 11%. In a house split into flats, each flat is a separate installation, while a landlord supply runs the shared hall lights and door entry. Flats in the same house are often rewired at different times, so their reports can differ widely. Listed buildings are few, with 4 within 300 m of Ladbroke Grove, among them the Public Library and the Technical Institute, both grade II. That count covers only 300 m around Ladbroke Grove, 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 Kensington and Chelsea
From Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Kensington and Chelsea licenses shared homes across the borough (1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028). There is no selective licensing for single-household lets.
Around Ladbroke Grove, most addresses are in Golborne, St. Helen's and Dalgarno wards. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
RBKC asks for a current EICR when you apply for an HMO licence.
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 Ladbroke Grove
How much does an EICR cost in Ladbroke Grove?
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.
Is there a Central London fee for W10?
No. The £21.60 Central London fee only applies to EC and WC postcodes, W1, SE1 and SW1. W10 pays the standard price.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Kensington and Chelsea?
Only if it's shared. Smaller HMOs need an additional licence anywhere in the borough until 31 May 2028. A flat let to one household doesn't need a licence, but it still needs a valid EICR.
My Ladbroke Grove flat's EICR has an FI code. What does that mean?
FI means further investigation is needed. The electrician found something that could not be fully assessed during the inspection, and an FI makes the report unsatisfactory. The investigation must be carried out within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, and any remedial work it reveals follows the same deadline. Once the work is done, send the electrician's written confirmation to your tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.
How soon can you visit Ladbroke Grove?
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.
