Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

Frequently Asked Questions about EPCs when letting a property

Why Every Landlord & Seller Needs an EICR

Whether selling or letting a property, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essential for safety, legal compliance, and peace of mind.

EICRs assess the condition of your property’s electrical installations and highlight any issues that need attention.

For landlords, having a valid EICR in place is legally required before a tenancy begins — or you could face fines of up to £30,000.

How Long Does an EICR Last?

EICRs are valid for 5 years, but landlords must ensure they remain current and available to tenants, buyers, and local authorities.

An EICR can help streamline your transaction and prevent last-minute complications if you plan to sell.


Common Issues Uncovered in EICRs

Old or unsafe consumer units (fuse boxes)

Faulty sockets, switches, and cabling

Overloaded circuits and potential fire risks
