What's different about Newham
Licensing is part of letting here
Newham has run property licensing for longer than most boroughs. Expect the council to want electrical safety evidence with an application.
Terraces turned into HMOs
Lots of Victorian terraces have been split into rooms, often with extra circuits added over the years. We test every room and shared area so the report matches what the council expects.
Olympic-era new builds
Flats around Stratford and the Royal Docks usually have modern boards, so reports tend to focus on bonding, labelling and access to the board.
