Coordinate shared-house and flat access
For Brixton, Streatham, Clapham, Vauxhall or West Norwood, explain whether your Lambeth EICR instruction concerns one self-contained dwelling or a shared home. Supply the full unit details and describe any known common electrical areas. A clear brief helps avoid confusion between the building, individual rooms and separately managed installations.
If an agent is arranging the inspection, nominate a contact who can confirm access with the occupiers. Collect the earlier EICR and any certificates for later electrical changes, including work completed during a refurbishment. Ask the council directly about the address’s licensing position rather than assume that an electrical report satisfies every housing requirement.
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.

Agree the visit
Arrange a keyholder and tell occupiers what to expect. Share previous records and known access restrictions before the appointment.
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 Lambeth
Is an EICR the same as HMO licensing?
No. The report addresses electrical condition within its scope; licensing is a separate council process.
Can I book only using the number of tenants?
Provide the premises, layout and installation details as well. Occupant numbers alone do not define the work.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
