Electrical Installation Condition Reports

A complete test and inspection of your property's electrical installation including the testing of all electrical circuits.

EICR Testing Explained

An EICR, also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a comprehensive assessment that ensures the safety of the wiring and electrical systems in your property. Often referred to as the Landlord Safety Test, Electrical Safety Certificate, or Homebuyer’s Test, it is a crucial check that determines if your electrical installations meet the necessary safety standards. This inspection is essential for identifying any potential hazards, ensuring that your property’s electrics are not only safe but also in optimal condition for current or prospective occupants.


For Landlords

Since April 2021, UK landlords must provide a copy of the EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) to all existing and new tenants, ensuring electrical safety in their properties. This includes maintaining safe electrical installations and appliances throughout the tenancy. Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000, potential invalidation of insurance, and even banning orders for serious or repeated offences.
