An Electrical Inspection Certificate is an electrical safety report that certifies the safety of a property’s electrical installation work by stating that the new installation, repair, or addition is safe to use. The EICR granted for your property is determined by the extent and kind of electrical installation work, inspection, and testing performed on the property.
Only fully qualified approved contractors who are registered electricians with NICEIC, ELECSA, or NAPIT who can assess the condition of the electrical systems, should perform EICR (IEE Wiring Regulations).
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 came into effect on June 1, 2020. According to the new laws, landlords are legally required to have qualified and competent experts to assess the electrical installations in their rental premises.

Always double-check your report as the prior electrician might have believed that more frequent inspections were required. Landlords have a responsibility to ensure that all electrics and electrical equipment are secure for usage by the current tenant and that an EICR is in place.
If electrical systems and equipment provided by landlords are found to be dangerous, landlords may be subject to the following actions:
