Safety certificate guide for east London
East London holds both ends of the compliance range. A 2019 block on the Lea and an 1890s terrace let room by room sit a mile apart and need almost opposite things.

The widest spread in London: large post-2000 blocks alongside Victorian terraces converted heavily to HMOs.
Why the document set looks the way it does here.
- FDANNUALFire Door Inspection from £114.99
New-build blocks: no asbestos duty
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a building constructed after 2000 does not carry the duty to manage. What it does carry is a full fire strategy: alarm grade, escape lighting, communal doors.
- FRAANNUAL REVIEWFire Risk Assessment from £125.99
HMO conversions: the full set
A licensed HMO needs a gas record, an EICR, an EPC, a recorded fire risk assessment, escape lighting and appliance testing for everything supplied. It is the heaviest document load of any property type.
- PATRISK-BASEDPAT Testing from £49.99
Appliance testing at every tenancy
Room-by-room lets change tenants often and come furnished. An itemised appliance register, updated at each change, is the evidence that matters.
ASK US WHICH SET APPLIES
The checker works this out from the property rather than the postcode. A new-build and a terrace on the same street get different answers, and that is correct.
HMO and selective licensing varies by borough, and it changes
Newham, Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets, Redbridge and Barking and Dagenham have all run licensing designations covering large parts of their areas. We do not list scheme names, boundaries or fees on this page, because designations run for fixed terms and lapse or get replaced. Check the council directly before you rely on it.
