Safety certificate guide for south London
South London stock is overwhelmingly pre-2000, and that single fact changes what a building owner or a freeholder has to hold on file.

Substantial ex-local-authority blocks and large period houses converted to flats. Pre-2000 construction is the norm.
Why the document set looks the way it does here.
- ASBREVIEW FREQUENCY: PROPERTY-DEPENDENTAsbestos Management Survey from £250.00
Asbestos duties apply widely
For non-domestic premises and the common parts of residential blocks built or refurbished before 2000, the duty to manage asbestos applies: find it, record it, assess it, and keep a management plan under review.
- ELANNUALEmergency Lighting Test from £50.00
Ex-local-authority blocks
Purpose-built blocks with long communal corridors need a recorded fire risk assessment, escape lighting tested to full duration, and communal door checks where the building is above 11 metres.
- EICR5 YEARSEICR from £72.99
Converted period houses
Large houses split into flats carry the same communal-parts duties as a purpose-built block, and the electrical installation is usually older than the conversion.
REGISTER, NOT REMOVAL
Asbestos in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed is normally recorded and monitored rather than removed. The register then has to reach anyone who might disturb the fabric, including your own contractors.
HMO and selective licensing varies by borough, and it changes
Croydon, Lewisham, Greenwich, Wandsworth and Merton have each operated additional or selective licensing designations. 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.
