Office to Residential Conversion EICR London: Certificates and Cost
Short answer: on an office-to-residential conversion the certificate you need first is not an EICR — it is an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) for each new flat, plus Building Control sign-off under Part P, because creating a dwelling is a material change of use and the flat is a new installation.
