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.
