Lewisham landlord and HMO compliance
Lewisham runs borough-wide selective licensing covering all private rented homes, requiring a satisfactory EICR. Under the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards Regulations, every private rented home in Lewisham 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 Catford, Deptford, New Cross and Lewisham central wards, where rental density is highest and the council’s licensing team focuses inspection activity.
Lewisham housing — what we typically see
Lewisham’s stock is varied: Victorian terraces around Brockley, Forest Hill and Lewisham, Georgian houses around Blackheath, 1960s estates around Catford and Lewisham, plus new-build stock at Lewisham town centre and Deptford 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 Lewisham 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
