What to expect from an EICR in Warwick Avenue
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.
Warwick Avenue's figures are for Little Venice, the census neighbourhood used for it, where 47% of households rent privately, against 30% across London. Houses are few: terraced houses make up 8% of homes and semi-detached 4%. By council tax records, 11% of homes were built from 1945 to 1972, and most of the rest before 1919. A flat in an older building may have had its own installation renewed separately from the building around it. The consumer unit may be recent while the cable that feeds it is older. The EICR looks at both, along with the earthing the flat depends on.
Listed buildings are the stand-out: 72 of them within 300 m of Warwick Avenue. The Prince Alfred Public House is grade II*, and Clifton Villas is grade II. Blomfield Road, Clifton Gardens, Randolph Road, Formosa Street and Clarendon Gardens all have listed buildings, as does Warwick Avenue itself. Being listed does not stop an inspection, which needs no consent. It matters if the report leads to work through original walls, floors or ceilings, because that can need listed building consent. Allow for that when planning any repairs.
Many flats here are in converted houses, which hold 38% of homes against London's 11%, and their meters are often grouped in one cupboard near the entrance. In a purpose-built block, a porter or managing agent may hold the key to the meter room. Either way, the electrician needs to reach your meter position as well as the flat. With so many homes let, the visit often has to fit around a tenant, so agree the time with them early and make sure every room will be open.
Booking a visit in Warwick Avenue
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.
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 Westminster
From Westminster City Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Westminster now licenses most privately rented homes. Selective licensing has covered 15 of its 18 wards since 24 November 2025 (every ward except Pimlico South, St James's and Vincent Square), and a renewed borough-wide additional HMO scheme started on 31 August 2026.
Around Warwick Avenue, most addresses are in Maida Vale and Little Venice 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.
Westminster's selective licence conditions say an EICR must be provided every 5 years.
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 Warwick Avenue
How much does an EICR cost in Warwick Avenue?
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 W9?
No. The £21.60 Central London fee only applies to EC and WC postcodes, W1, SE1 and SW1. W9 pays the standard price.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Westminster?
In most of Westminster, yes. Selective licensing covers every ward except Pimlico South, St James's and Vincent Square until 23 November 2030, and smaller shared homes need an additional HMO licence anywhere in the borough.
How can I check whether my Warwick Avenue building is listed?
Search Historic England's online list by address or building name. Each entry gives the grade and describes the building. With 72 listed buildings within 300 m of Warwick Avenue, it is worth checking before any remedial work is planned. The EICR itself needs no consent, but repairs that alter historic fabric can, and a listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside.
How soon can you visit Warwick Avenue?
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.
