What is a landlord EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report โ€” EICR for short โ€” is a formal inspection of a property’s electrical systems carried out by a qualified electrician. Think of it as an MOT for your electrics. It checks the condition of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and any fixed electrical equipment to make sure everything is safe and up to standard.

The inspection uses a simple grading system:

C1 โ€” Danger present. Requires immediate action. C2 โ€” Potentially dangerous. Requires remedial work. C3 โ€” Improvement recommended but not urgent.

A satisfactory EICR is issued when there are no C1 or C2 items present. If C1 or C2 items are found, landlords are required to arrange remedial work within 28 days โ€” or sooner if specified in the report.

Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords in Almondsbury?

Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all landlords in England are legally required to:

  • Have an EICR carried out at least every five years, or at the start of each new tenancy
  • Provide a copy of the report to new tenants before they move in
  • Provide a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection
  • Carry out any remedial work identified within 28 days and provide written confirmation

Failure to comply can result in local authority enforcement action and fines of up to ยฃ30,000. If you’re unsure when your last EICR was carried out or whether your property is compliant, get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.

FAQ

How much does a landlord EICR cost in Almondsbury?

A standard landlord EICR starts from ยฃ195 + VAT for a property with one consumer unit and one to two bedrooms. Larger properties or those with multiple consumer units may cost more โ€” get in touch for a fixed price based on your specific property. Multi-property discounts are available for landlords with larger portfolios.

Most standard rental properties in Almondsbury take between one and three hours to inspect, depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

At least every five years, or at the start of each new tenancy โ€” whichever comes first. If your last EICR is approaching its five-year anniversary, it’s worth booking now rather than waiting until a new tenancy triggers the requirement.

If any C1 or C2 items are found, you’re legally required to arrange remedial work within 28 days โ€” or sooner if specified in the report. We can carry out that remedial work and provide written confirmation, keeping everything with one contractor.

The property needs to be accessible, but the tenant doesn’t need to be present. We’re used to working flexibly around tenant schedules and can liaise directly with tenants to arrange access if that’s easier for you.

Yes. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, our certificates are fully compliant with BS 7671 and accepted by letting agents, local authorities and insurance providers across Almondsbury and the wider area.
