What Is an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of a property’s fixed electrical systems. It checks for:
-
Faulty or unsafe wiring
-
Overloaded circuits
-
Risk of fire or electric shock
-
Outdated consumer units
-
Non-compliance with current electrical safety standards
For landlords, EICRs are a legal requirement every 5 years — or at the start of a new tenancy.
General Questions
What Is an EICR Certificate?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a safety inspection that checks the condition of electrical wiring and systems in a property. It highlights risks, defects, or code violations and ensures compliance with current UK standards.
Is an electrical installation condition report legally required for landlords?
Yes. As of July 2020, landlords must obtain an EICR every 5 years or at the start of each new tenancy. Failing to provide one can result in fines up to £30,000.
When Should You Renew an EICR Certificate?
-
Every 5 years (residential rentals)
-
After a new tenant moves in
-
Following major electrical work
-
Every 3 to 5 years for commercial properties
How often should an electrical installation condition report be conducted for rental properties?
An EICR must be conducted at least every five years, or sooner if an electrician recommends it after an inspection. In case that the property is vacated and a new tenant is found, the Eicr Report should be provided to the new tenant within 28 days of them renting the property.
What penalties do landlords face for not having a valid EICR Certificate?
Landlords can be fined up to £30,000 by local authorities for failing to have a valid EICR in place for their rental properties.
Is an EICR Certificate mandatory for businesses?
No, businesses are not legally required to obtain an EICR Certificate, but they are still required to maintain safe electrical systems as per the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989).
What legal responsibilities do businesses have regarding electrical safety?
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and Electricity at Work Regulations, businesses must ensure proper maintenance of their electrical systems to provide a safe working environment. Failure to do so may result in fines for negligence.
How much does an EICR cost in London?
Prices start from just £99, depending on property size.
Can I get a same-day EICR certificate?
Yes, we offer urgent same-day EICR reports.
What does an EICR inspection cover?
