Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is this checklist for?
This checklist is designed specifically for UK landlords and property managers responsible for keeping rental properties compliant with electrical safety regulations.
If you own or manage rental properties, this guide will help you understand what to check before your next EICR inspection.
2. Do landlords legally need an EICR?
Yes. UK legislation requires landlords to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) every 5 years or when a new tenancy begins. Failing to have a valid report can lead to fines of up to £30,000 from local councils.
3. What happens if my property fails an EICR?
If an inspection identifies unsafe electrical issues, remedial work may be required before the installation can be considered satisfactory. Many failures are caused by small issues that can be fixed quickly, which is why understanding common problems beforehand can help avoid delays and extra costs.
4. I’m not sure when my EICR expires. What should I do?
If you're unsure when your last inspection was completed, it’s worth checking now.
Many landlords had inspections completed around 2020/2021 when the regulations changed, meaning thousands of properties are now approaching renewal.
5. Can Current help if my property needs an EICR?
Yes. If your property is in South London, we can arrange an EICR inspection and provide a clear report outlining any issues found. Many landlords use the checklist to understand the process before booking their inspection.
