Electrical inspection condition reports for landlords

As a landlord, you are responsible for the safety of the electrics throughout the property. This includes the installation itself and any electrical appliances you’ve provided. You’ll need to make sure these are safe when a new tenant moves in and maintained for the duration of their tenancy.

As of 1st June 2020, private landlords are now legally required to have an EICR at least every five years.
