EICR for landlords - electrical safety made simple

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) confirms the fixed electrical installation in your property is safe.

How often

In England, private landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified person.

If work is needed

If the report shows remedial work is required, it must be completed within the timeframe set out in the regulations (usually 28 days or less) and confirmed in writing.

Share the report

Give a copy to tenants and keep one for your records.

Track it
