Kensington & Chelsea landlord and HMO compliance
Kensington & Chelsea runs additional HMO licensing in designated wards (Earl’s Court, Notting Dale, Colville), plus mandatory HMO licensing borough-wide for 5+ tenant properties. Under the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards Regulations, every private rented home in Kensington & Chelsea needs a satisfactory EICR every five years (annually for HMOs), with a copy given to the tenant within 28 days of inspection.
Enforcement is most active in Earl’s Court, Notting Dale and Colville wards, where rental density is highest and the council’s licensing team focuses inspection activity.
Kensington & Chelsea housing — what we typically see
Kensington & Chelsea’s stock is varied: Georgian and Victorian stucco terraces across Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill (heavy listed-building density), Victorian mansion blocks around South Kensington and Earl’s Court, plus the high-end new-build stock around Chelsea Barracks and Earl’s Court regeneration. Each property type has its own typical electrical signature — older stock almost universally needs RCD protection upgrades, modern stock more often needs RCBO upgrades to handle accumulated earth leakage from LED drivers, EV chargers and induction hobs.
What we test on every Kensington & Chelsea EICR
- Consumer unit condition — Wylex/MEM/MK boards pre-2008 fail by default on RCD protection
- Main earthing and supplementary bonding (gas, water, structural metalwork)
- Each circuit’s insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance
- RCD trip times and sensitivity
- Visible cable condition (TRS, PVC twin-and-earth, damaged sheathing)
- Socket and switch condition and earthing
- Bathroom zone compliance (supplementary bonding, IP rating, RCD)
- Kitchen circuit loading and dedicated cooker termination
- Smoke and CO alarm presence where HMO licensing requires
