Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

Checking electrical installations in your property is vital in protecting homeowners, residents and tenants from the risk of electric shocks or fires.

That is why Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) have now become a legal requirement. Best practice dictates that all residential properties should undergo an EICR every 5 years, but for rental properties, it’s a legal requirement under the Housing Act 2004 that an EICR must be carried out by a fully qualified electrician whenever there is a change of tenancy.

Propview will take care of your EICR inspections and certification in line with the regulations with a stress free, seamless service. You can focus on the day job whilst we sort out property visits, liaise with tenants, make inspections and provide the completed reports.

These detailed assessments of electrical systems and installations in your property will flag up any issues or defects with circuits, integrated appliances, cables, switches and sockets, giving you the peace of mind as a landlord that you have taken the requisite protective measures for their health and safety. It means you look after your tenants and your property assets, ensuring electrical safety as well as avoiding fines which can be up to £30,000.

And should any issues arise which require remedying prior to achieving an EICR satisfactory result, Propview can advise you on the best course of action to ensure corrective measures are implemented within the requisite 28 day time limit.
