Electrical Testing and EICR Certification for Property Managers

The UK government requires landlords in the privately rented Sector to conduct electrical testing and provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to ensure tenant safety. This legislation mandates that:

  • From July 1, 2020, all new specified tenancies must have an up-to-date electrical safety certificate.
  • From April 1, 2021, all existing specified tenancies must also comply with this requirement.

For property managers overseeing multiple rental properties, staying compliant with electrical safety regulations is crucial to maintaining tenant safety and avoiding penalties.

Why Electrical Testing is Essential for Property Managers

While many landlords proactively ensure tenant safety, some properties may still require an EICR inspection to meet compliance standards. If you haven’t yet conducted electrical testing for all your managed properties, time is of the essence to meet regulatory deadlines. Booking an electrical safety test is straightforward, and we offer transparent pricing based on property type to help you budget accordingly. [Click here for electrical testing prices]

Need a Price?

If you require a price for electrical testing on your property we will need to know the number of electrical circuits. This can be found by the number of MCBS (Fuses) in the distribution boards or listed on the current EICR.

We will help you with this if you cannot provide this information by sending a photo of the distribution board or fuse board.
