An electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document issued after a thorough inspection and testing of the electrical system, including the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, and switches. This inspection ensures compliance with current Wiring Standards and highlights any faults or issues.
Typically valid for five years, the EICR’s validity may vary depending on the age and condition of the installation.
Maintaining electrical safety is crucial for ensuring tenants’ well-being. The EICR is an essential tool for monitoring the condition of a property’s electrical installations and ensuring they meet safety standards.
At Elite Impact, we offer professional EICR services across London and surrounding areas. Our team of fully qualified electricians can help landlords, letting agents, and property managers meet their obligations under these Regulations.
Under new government legislation, landlords are legally required to ensure all fixed electrical installations in their rental properties are inspected and tested by a qualified professional at least once every five years.

Additionally, upon request, landlords must supply a copy of the report to the local housing authority within 7 days.

Local housing authorities are responsible for enforcing these rules and have the power to arrange remedial actions if necessary. Breaching the Regulations can result in financial penalties of up to £30,000.
