As a landlord in London, you are legally required to have valid Electrical Certificates (EICRs) for your rental properties. At Landlord-Cert, we provide fast, professional rental property electrical certificate services across all London boroughs, helping you comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
What Are Rental Property Electrical Certificates?
Rental Property Electrical Certificates (EICRs) are mandatory electrical safety certificates required by law for all privately rented properties in England. These certificates provide proof that your rental property's electrical installations are safe and comply with UK electrical regulations.
The certificate confirms that:
- All fixed electrical installations are safe
- The property complies with BS7671 wiring regulations
- No dangerous or potentially dangerous electrical defects exist
- The electrical system is suitable for continued use
Why You Need Rental Property Electrical Certificates in London
Since 1st April 2021, landlords in London and across England must ensure all rental properties have valid EICRs. Without a satisfactory certificate, you cannot legally rent out your property, and non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000.
You need Rental Property Electrical Certificates 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 Rental Property Electrical Certificate 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
- Detailed report suitable for tenant documentation

How Often Are Rental Property Electrical Certificates Required?
Rental Property Electrical Certificates are required 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.
