✅ What is a Landlord Electrical Certificate?

A Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate, also known as an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report), is a legal requirement for all rental properties in England.

This inspection checks the condition of your property’s electrical system, identifies potential hazards, and ensures your tenants are safe. You’ll receive an official certificate stating whether your installation is satisfactory or needs attention.

📜 It’s the Law

Since July 1st, 2020, all landlords in England must have a valid EICR for each property they rent out.

It must be renewed every 5 years, or more frequently if specified by your last report.

You must:

  • Provide a copy to new tenants before they move in

  • Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days

  • Supply a copy to your local authority upon request

Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.

🔍 What’s Included in the Inspection?

Our qualified engineer will:

  • Inspect your fuse board (consumer unit)

  • Check sockets, switches, and light fittings

  • Test earthing and bonding

  • Identify any overloaded circuits or fire hazards

  • Issue a digital EICR certificate within 24 hours (of payment)

We explain everything clearly and offer advice on any remedial work, if needed.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports are legally required for new tenancies in England

Mains electrical wiring safety inspections are now a mandatory requirement in England, as of 1st April 2020 – far from being April fools Day this was a monumental day for raising safety in rental property.

Landlords are now required to carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) on their rental property every 5 years.

All landlords letting property in the UK now have a legal obligation to ensure that their property is safe to be lived in, so it is necessary the electrical wiring is checked to make sure it is not damaged and that it is inline with current regulations for wiring standards.

Our electrical engineers can visit your property to carry out an inspection of the electrical system from which they can provide you with an up to date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for your rental property.

The report will confirm whether the system is safe, or if any work is needed to bring it up to standard. We do not force you to do that work, it is up to you, and it is also up to you who does that work. We will only quote for the work if you ask us too. If the issue can be fixed whilst the engineer is on site, he will ring you to discuss then you can decide how you want to proceed.
