Electrical Safety Law
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks that the electrical installation in a property is safe and meets current standards. Here's why it matters for you.
It's the law. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all private landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician.
Mortgage lenders frequently require an EICR before they will approve lending on an older property. Even where it's not a condition of your mortgage, getting an EICR before exchange gives you important information and negotiating leverage.
For owner-occupied homes, an EICR is recommended every 10 years or whenever there is a change of occupancy. Your home insurer may also require up-to-date electrical certification, particularly in older properties.

Simple Process
Everything is straightforward. Here's what to expect from start to finish.
Once you get in touch, we'll confirm a date and time that works for you. We'll advise you what to prepare — including informing any tenants in advance about the power-off period and the approximate duration of the visit.
Our NAPIT-registered electrician will arrive at the agreed time and carry out the chosen level of inspection. We work methodically and cleanly — no mess, no damage to your property. Any significant findings are explained to you on the day.
Your written report — or full EICR certificate for Option 3 — is issued on the same day or the next working day. It's emailed directly to you and is ready to forward to tenants, letting agents or your local authority.
Greg explains exactly what an EICR involves, how to prepare, and how to spot the difference between a genuine report and a dangerous paper exercise.
Common Questions
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all private landlords must have the electrical installation in their rental property inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician. The certificate must be provided to tenants within 28 days and to the local authority on request. Fines for non-compliance can reach £30,000.
A full EICR (Option 3) typically takes 2–3 hours for a standard 2–3 bedroom property. During this time, power will need to be off. Smaller properties or visual-only inspections (Option 1) can be completed in around 2 hours.
Option 2 includes RCD testing and a global insulation resistance test — these confirm safety devices work and that cabling is broadly sound. However, it does not test individual circuits or produce a full EICR certificate. For legal landlord compliance, you need Option 3.
No. The inspection and testing is observation and measurement only. If issues are found, we'll provide a clear written report with recommendations. Remedial work is quoted separately and only carried out with your agreement.
