What Is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and test of your property's electrical system. It identifies:
- Electrical defects
- Damage or deterioration
- Safety risks such as potential fire hazards
- Non-compliance with current BS 7671 wiring regulations
- An EICR ensures that your installation is safe and functioning as it should. For landlords, this is now a legal requirement every five years (or when a change of tenants occurs).
Why Do Landlords Need an EICR?
Landlords are legally required to have an EICR carried out on all rental properties every 5 years. This applies to both domestic and commercial lets. Failing to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000.
An up-to-date EICR ensures:
- The safety of your tenants
- Compliance with landlord regulations
- Reduced risk of electrical fires or faults
- Peace of mind for you and your property manager

FAQ ABOUT domestic EICR reports
What is an EICR?
An EICR is a formal report that assesses the condition of a property’s electrical installation. It identifies any defects or non-compliances with current wiring regulations.
How long does an EICR take?
Typically 3–4 hours, depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits.
How often should I get an EICR? For landlords, every 5 years or with each new tenancy. For homeowners, it’s recommended every 10 years.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
We will provide a clear, itemised report of the issues, supported by photos, and a free quote for the necessary remedial work. Once completed, we will issue a Satisfactory certificate.
