The Electrical Safety Certificate (EICR) is an essential requirement for landlords to ensure their property’s electrical systems are safe and compliant. This certificate assesses the condition of wiring, sockets, lighting, and other electrical installations, ensuring they meet legal standards.
An EICR certificate is valid for 5 years, after which it must be renewed. During the inspection, a qualified electrician will identify any potential hazards, such as faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, and classify them according to urgency. If issues are found, landlords are required to make repairs promptly to ensure tenant safety.
Failing to obtain an EICR certificate or neglecting necessary repairs can result in hefty fines and legal consequences. Moreover, a safe electrical system is not only a legal obligation but also a significant factor in tenant satisfaction.
The cost of an EICR inspection varies depending on the property size and complexity but typically ranges between £120 and £300. At Landlords Checks, we provide professional and affordable EICR inspections tailored to your needs. Our certified electricians ensure a thorough evaluation and clear recommendations for any required improvements.
