1) What is an EICR?

An EICR is an inspection of the fixed electrical installation in your Bradford area rental property. It involves both a visual inspection of the electrical system and thorough testing using specialised equipment. The aim of an EICR is to ensure that a property is electrically safe by identifying any potential dangers or areas that fail to meet current regulations.

2) What does a landlords EICR report show?

After your electrician has completed their inspection, they will issue you the EICR report itself. This will detail their findings and any remedial action that needs to be taken. Each point will be assigned a code:

C1 – Danger is present and there is high risk of injury. If you get a C1, then immediate action is required.
C2 – Code C2 means there is potential danger and requires urgent attention.
C3 – This means this area does not currently need work but is likely to in the near future. 
F1 –Further investigation needed.

3) What happens if my property fails the EICR?

If you receive a C1 or C2 code, then your Bradford area rental property has failed it’s EICR. To change the result to satisfactory you will need to have remedial work carried out within the timeframe specified by your electrician – usually within 28 days. They will then issue a certificate for the works to say your property now meets the required standards.

4) Is it compulsory for a landlord to have an EICR?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an essential means of ensuring your property is an electrically safe environment for your tenants. Since April 2021, landlords have been required by law to ensure an up-to-date EICR is in place at every tenanted property.

5) What happens if I don’t have an EICR?

As we mentioned above, an EICR is a legal requirement for landlords and this responsibility is taken seriously by local authorities. If you fail to arrange an EICR for your Bradford area property you can be faced with a hefty fine of up to £30,000.

6) How often does a rental property need an EICR?

A landlord must ensure an EICR is carried out at least every 5 years at their rental properties. This interval may be reduced if recommended by your electrician.

Back to top

7) Who can carry out an EICR for a Landlord?

An EICR should only be carried out by a fully qualified, competent electrician. They should also be registered with either NICEIC or NAPIT, the electrical industry’s governing bodies. This ensures they have both the experience and knowledge of regulations required.
