EICR Southwark — from £67.99

What is an EICR?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection and test of all fixed electrical wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings and the consumer unit within a rental property. A qualified NICEIC approved electrician tests every circuit from the consumer unit, checks earthing and bonding arrangements, and assigns a condition code to every observation that falls below the current British Standard BS 7671 — the IET Wiring Regulations. The result is a written report that tells you whether the electrical installation is satisfactory for continued use and — if not — what needs to be addressed and within what timeframe.

Since April 2021, every private landlord in England has been legally required to hold a valid EICR and renew it every five years. Landlords in Southwark are subject to exactly the same obligation as landlords elsewhere in England. Failure to comply can result in a civil penalty of up to £30,000 per property and a remedial notice from your local authority.

EICR in Southwark — local property context

Southwark combines some of London's most sought-after postcodes — Bermondsey, London Bridge, and Peckham — with significant post-war and estate housing. The borough has very high HMO activity across Peckham and Nunhead, and significant flat conversion stock in Victorian terraces throughout. Many properties near the Bermondsey waterfront are modern builds with high compliance requirements.

A premium inner South London market with some of the highest rental demand in the capital, driven by Jubilee line and Overground connectivity. Our NICEIC approved electricians are experienced with the specific electrical characteristics common to properties in the SE1, SE5, SE14, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22 postcode areas and regularly carry out EICR inspections across Southwark for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EICR pricing in Southwark
