Westminster landlord and HMO compliance
Westminster runs additional HMO licensing in designated wards (Queen’s Park, Harrow Road, Westbourne), plus mandatory HMO licensing borough-wide for 5+ tenant properties. Under the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards Regulations, every private rented home in Westminster 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 Queen’s Park, Harrow Road, Westbourne and Bayswater wards, where rental density is highest and the council’s licensing team focuses inspection activity.
Westminster housing — what we typically see
Westminster’s stock is varied: Georgian and Regency stucco terraces across Belgravia, Mayfair, Pimlico and Marylebone (heavy listed-building density), Victorian mansion blocks around St John’s Wood and Maida Vale, plus new-build flats around Paddington Basin. 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 Westminster 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
