What's different about Hackney
Converted flats share supplies
Many period conversions have a shared landlord supply for hallway lights and door entry. It needs its own inspection and is often missed.
Warehouse and live/work units
Hackney Wick conversions can have three-phase supplies and mixed commercial wiring, which needs a different approach to a standard flat.
Conservation areas
Large parts of the borough are conservation areas, which affects where an EV charger or external cable can go on a front wall.
