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.

Do I need an EICR to sell my house

It’s not legally required, but highly recommended. It reassures buyers and speeds up conveyancing by showing the property meets safety standards.
