Since April 2021, every rental property in England has been required to have a valid electrical safety certificate as per “The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020”. We recognise that time has passed since this was introduced, however, if you are a Landlord and you have not yet acquired an EICR, you may be held liable for any electrical faults in the property. This change has brought England closer to the “Housing (Scotland) Act 2014”, in which the EICR has been similarly enforced on rental properties in Scotland since December 2015.

What is a Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?
An electrical installation condition report (EICR), also known as a Periodic Inspection Check, is carried out to ensure the property is electrically safe for tenants.
This type of report is carried out to help to identify the following:
Integrity and degradation of wiring
Damage to electrical accessories, including sockets and switches
Ensuring the property complies with relevant BS7671 regulations
If any landlords or letting agents are found not to be adhering to the new legislation, this can potentially lead to the landlord being fined up to £30,000.
