What is a landlord electrical safety certificate?
A landlord electrical safety certificate, also called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), confirms that a property’s electrical systems are safe and meet UK safety standards.
It's a legal requirement for landlords to have an EICR, and the certificate must be renewed at least every five years. During the inspection, a qualified electrician checks the condition of the wiring, sockets, fuse box, and other electrical parts to ensure everything is safe to use.
An EICR helps spot any problems early and keeps your system working properly.
