All You Need To Know About EICR Landlord Certificates
When it comes to safeguarding the security of their renters, the majority of landlords take initiative, which is a good contribution to the housing market. A minority, however, choose not to, endangering their renters as a result.
According to the new regulations, landlords must have an electrical installation in their property inspected and tested by a skilled professional at least once every five years. A copy of the electrical safety report must be sent to renters and, if necessary, the local authority by the landlord.
As a result, all landlords are now required to do what ethical landlords already do, which is to guarantee the safety of the electrical systems in their rental houses.

Why do you need one?
Electrical certificates are crucial for demonstrating that you have taken all necessary precautions to ensure your tenants' safety.
You should have a complete electrical check performed every three to five years, depending on the advice from prior inspections. This inspection looks at the condition of the electrical wiring on the entire property and carefully examines the installation's safety.
An "Electrical Installation Condition Report" will then be electronically issued upon completion and processing of this. It will specify whether any corrective work is necessary to make the electrical installation compliant with current safety requirements or whether it is safe.
Find a qualified and competent person to conduct the inspection
Regulations require landlords to appoint qualified and experienced professionals to assess and test the electrical installations in their properties at least once every five years. The electrical safety sector has created guidelines that explain how landlords can select a skilled and competent inspector and tester. Here are a few examples, though not an entire list:
- Group on Electrical Safety
- Competent Person Listed single mark and register electrical
Competent person programmes have been implemented by the electrical safety sector. To prevent adding to the pressure on the sector and placing an unnecessary load on testers and inspectors, membership in these organisations won't be required.

- To ensure safety, electrical installation must adhere to approved requirements. Electric shock or fire caused by problems with the fuse board, switches, or plugs could harm inhabitants and cause property damage.
20,000 houses in the UK are reportedly affected by electricity fires each year, according to a survey by Electric Safety First. 89% of fires are started by electrical items, whereas 11% are brought on by poor wiring. The majority of these occurrences might be prevented with routine electric system maintenance and inspection.
Every tenant’s safety should be guaranteed by the landlord for the duration of the tenancy. This entails ensuring that electrical equipment, wiring, and fuse boxes are installed, maintained, and functionally safe.
