Landlord EICR Checks: Your Questions Answered
How should landlords prepare for an EICR inspection?
Inspection covers a property's fixed installation, including wiring, sockets, switches and consumer units. The report identifies observations, codes their significance, and distinguishes recommended from necessary remedial work for landlords clearly.
When must landlords arrange an EICR for rented properties?
Landlords must obtain an EICR before a new tenancy begins and renew the inspection at least every five years, or sooner where the report specifies an earlier date where necessary.
Who is qualified to carry out a landlord EICR?
Landlord EICRs should be completed by a qualified, competent electrical professional with appropriate testing expertise. RJW Electrical’s insured engineers follow current wiring regulations and provide traceable certification for rental records.
What happens if a landlord EICR identifies electrical faults?
Where faults are recorded, landlords should review the report’s observations, arrange competent remedial work for unsatisfactory items, retain invoices and obtain confirmation testing or certification when required for their records.
How disruptive is a landlord EICR inspection for tenants?
A landlord EICR inspection is limited to access and testing of fixed installations. Tenants may need to permit entry, keep rooms accessible, and follow safety instructions while testing takes place.
