If you let a property in England, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 apply to you. This guide explains what they require in plain terms.
When an EICR is required
A valid Electrical Installation Condition Report is required at least every five years, and at the start of a new tenancy. The report inspects the fixed wiring and records its condition against the current standard.
Satisfactory vs unsatisfactory
A satisfactory report means no dangerous or potentially dangerous findings. If the report is unsatisfactory, any C1 or C2 items must be put right within 28 days and confirmation supplied to the tenant and, on request, the local authority.
Keeping it simple
We carry out landlord EICRs on a same-week basis in most cases, issue the certificate within 48 hours, and quote any remedial work as an itemised fixed price.
