EICRs Explained: Why They're Vital for Landlords ✏️

As a landlord, your responsibility goes beyond collecting rent—it's about keeping your tenants safe and your property legally compliant. At [Your Business Name], we make that simple with Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs).

What is an EICR?

An EICR is a professional inspection of your property's electrical system. It includes checks on:

• Wiring

• Consumer units (fuse boxes)

• Sockets and switches

• Lighting circuits

The goal is to identify any wear, damage, or non-compliance with current safety standards. Once complete, you'll receive a detailed report and, if needed, recommendations for remedial work.

Why Do Landlords Need EICRs?

Since 2020, the law requires landlords in England to have a valid EICR for all rented properties.

What you need to know:

• A valid EICR must be carried out every 5 years

• Tenants must receive a copy within 28 days

• New tenants must be given the report before they move in

• Any urgent issues must be resolved within 28 days (or sooner)

Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000 issued by local authorities.

Why It Matters

Beyond legal compliance, EICRs protect:

• Your tenants from shock, fire, or injury

• You from costly emergency repairs

• Your investment from insurance risks or legal claims

• Your reputation as a responsible landlord
