FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need a Residential Electrical Safety Certificate?
For residential properties, an EICR is recommended every 5 years or at each change of tenancy. For HMOs, it is a legal requirement to have an EICR carried out at least every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes. Landlords must ensure the electrical installation in their rental properties is inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician. A valid EICR must be provided to new tenants before they move in and to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
What does a Residential EICR check?
An EICR checks the condition and safety of your electrical installation. The electrician tests wiring, consumer units, sockets, circuits and protective devices. They identify deterioration, defects or potential hazards and classify them using industry codes so that you know what requires urgent or recommended action.
What happens if my property fails the EICR?
If your report lists Code 1 or Code 2 issues, the installation is unsafe and remedial work is required. Landlords must complete repairs within 28 days or sooner if the report recommends it. Once repairs are complete, a written confirmation of compliance must be provided to tenants and the local authority if requested.
Who is qualified to carry out a Residential EICR?
The assessment must be carried out by a competent, qualified electrician who is skilled in inspection and testing. They should hold appropriate electrical qualifications, insurance and experience in residential properties. Choosing a certified professional ensures the report is accurate, compliant and recognised by insurers and local authorities.
