An EICR is a document that is formally produced by a qualified electrician. It follows an in-depth inspection of the electrical wiring and appliances in your property. If you are a landlord of a rental property, it is your responsibility to ensure the electrics are safe for your tenants, and this should be achieved through an EICR.

if you are late in getting your EICR, or you haven’t yet fixed the issues that were flagged during the process, you might be susceptible to these dangers. If there is faulty wiring in your property or your appliances aren’t reliable, you could be at risk of an electrical fire; approximately 89% of electrical fires are caused by unreliable appliances. Faulty wiring can also be the cause of electric shocks. If, as a landlord, you neglect to have an EICR for your property, you could face up to a £30,000 fine. This can also lead to you needing emergency assistance for your property.
We undertake both residential and commercial EICR's to ensure the safety of both homeowners or tenants and civilian's in commercial settings/shops.
It is important to ensure all your files are in date and corresponding order to ensure if any issues arise you have the documentation to show you have help up your liability for the building/safety of others.
