What Is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of the electrical installations in a property, carried out by a qualified electrician. The EICR test combines a visual inspection with detailed electrical testing to identify deterioration, damage, or non-compliance.
The result is a clear electrical safety certificate confirming whether the installation is safe — graded as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.

Do You Need an EICR?
Landlords
An EICR is a legal requirement for all rental properties in England. You must hold a valid certificate and arrange a fresh EICR every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties.
- Required every 5 years by law
- Must be provided to tenants
- Local authority can request a copy
- Protects you from penalty fines
Homeowners
While not legally required for owner-occupiers, an EICR gives peace of mind and reveals the true condition of the electrics before you buy a property — or simply to confirm your home is safe for your family.
- Essential before buying a house
- Recommended every 10 years
- Identifies hidden hazards
- Plan and budget for any repairs
