Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a mandatory electrical safety inspection that landlords must provide when letting a property. This report certifies the property has been inspected by a qualified individual for up-to-date and safe electrical installations in the last 5 years. Since the EICR only lasts for up to 5 years, landlords must renew their EICR every 5 years.
Landlords must receive a satisfactory report and provide a copy to tenants before letting, as required by the law.
