Agree access across a shared address
For an EICR in Wembley, Willesden or another part of Brent, explain whether the instruction concerns one dwelling, a shared house or several separate flats. A single postal address can conceal different electrical arrangements. The number of rooms and known consumer units helps the team assess the job; it does not establish which systems are included without further discussion.
Where rooms are occupied separately, coordinate access with the responsible landlord or agent and the occupants. Identify shared areas and who manages them, and retain records of appointment arrangements. Use the council directly for current licensing questions: booking an inspection is separate from applying for a licence, and an EICR alone does not establish that every licensing condition has been met.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Fixed wiring, not portable appliances.
An EICR records the condition of the fixed electrical installation within the agreed inspection scope. Discuss access, previous reports and any known alterations with the electrician.
The report may identify work or further investigation. Receiving a report does not mean the installation is satisfactory; follow the findings and agree any next steps separately.

Read the findings
Review the report or record and any action required. Repairs, further investigation and repeat visits must be agreed separately.
EICR questions in Brent
Is an EICR a property licence?
No. It is an electrical condition report. Check licensing requirements directly with the council for the particular property.
Can one visit cover several separate flats?
Possibly, subject to an agreed instruction, separate installation details and access. Provide each address and unit identifier first.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
