As a landlord in London, you are legally required to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for your rental properties. At Landlord-Cert, we provide fast, professional landlord EICR services across all London boroughs, helping you comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
What Is a Landlord EICR?
A Landlord EICR is a mandatory electrical safety inspection required by law for all privately rented properties in England. This comprehensive inspection assesses the safety of fixed electrical installations, including wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits, and consumer units.
The EICR report identifies any electrical hazards and categorises them as:
- C1 - Danger present, immediate action required
- C2 - Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required
- C3 - Improvement recommended
- FI - Further investigation required
Why You Need a Landlord EICR in London
Since 1st April 2021, landlords in London and across England must ensure all rental properties have a valid EICR. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000, and landlords cannot legally let a property without a satisfactory EICR certificate.
You need a Landlord EICR if you:
- Own rental properties in London
- Are about to rent out a property
- Your current EICR is expiring (certificates are valid for 5 years)
- Have received notice from your local council
- Need to renew your EICR before the expiry date
What's Included in Our Landlord EICR Service
Our NAPIT-certified electricians carry out thorough inspections covering:
- Visual inspection of all fixed electrical installations
- Testing of electrical circuits and protective devices
- Polarity, insulation resistance, and earth fault loop impedance tests
- Identification and classification of any electrical defects
- NAPIT-compliant EICR certificate issued within 24 hours
- Digital certificate delivery via email
- Advice on any necessary remedial work
- Follow-up inspection after remedial work (if required)
How Often Is a Landlord EICR Required?
Landlords must ensure EICRs are carried out at least every 5 years, or when there is a change of tenancy if the previous certificate is older than 5 years. For properties in London's busy rental market, it's essential to keep track of certificate expiry dates to avoid delays in re-letting properties.
We help landlords across North London, South London, East London, West London, and Central London stay compliant with timely inspections and digital certification.
