A landlord's guide to the EICR

Landlords19 Sep 20267 min readBy Dan, lead electrician

What an EICR is

An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the wiring, sockets, board and earthing in a property and records anything unsafe.

How often you need one

For rented homes in England, at least every five years and before a new tenancy if the last one has expired. Tenants must get a copy within 28 days.

TipBook all your properties together. We can usually do three or four in a morning.
