Safety certificate guide for north London
North London is conversion country. Two, three and four-flat conversions of Victorian and Edwardian houses, most with a shared entrance, and a lot of fixed wiring that has been extended rather than replaced.

Victorian and Edwardian houses converted to flats in volume, many with a shared front door and stair.
Why the document set looks the way it does here.
- EICR5 YEARSEICR from £72.99
Older fixed wiring, more remedials
Rewires from the seventies and eighties with later additions are common, so unsatisfactory EICRs and C2 observations come up more often here than in newer stock. Remedial work is priced separately from the inspection.
- FRAANNUAL REVIEWFire Risk Assessment from £125.99
Shared entrances carry a fire duty
A converted house with a communal hall is a building with common parts. The responsible person needs a recorded fire risk assessment and, in most cases, escape lighting on the stair.
- CP1212 MONTHSGas Safety Certificate from £55.00
Gas runs through converted pipework
Conversions frequently share a meter position and run long pipework to each flat. Tightness testing matters more where the installation has been altered repeatedly.
ONE VISIT, SEVERAL FLATS
Where a landlord holds more than one flat in the same converted house, ask whether they can be inspected on a single visit. Each flat has its own record.
HMO and selective licensing varies by borough, and it changes
Haringey, Brent, Enfield, Camden and Islington have each operated additional or selective licensing at different times, with different boundaries. 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.
