If you own, let, or manage a property in London, ensuring your electrical installations are safe and legally compliant is not optional — it’s essential. That’s where the Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, comes in. At Niceic Electricians, we specialise in delivering fast, reliable, and certified EICRs across the capital. Whether it’s for a rental property, commercial premises, or your own home, this guide will help you understand exactly what’s required, and how to get it done efficiently with our expert team.
What is an EICR?
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is an official certificate that confirms the safety and compliance of a property's electrical systems. It’s issued after a thorough inspection and testing of all fixed wiring, sockets, light fittings, and consumer units within the premises.
These inspections are conducted by qualified electricians to identify:
The EICR categorises any issues found and recommends actions if improvements are needed.
Who Needs an Electrical Safety Test Certificate?
An EICR is particularly crucial for:
-
Landlords (required by law every 5 years or at tenancy changes)
-
Homeowners (especially when buying or selling a property)
-
Businesses (to meet health and safety obligations)
-
Managing agents (to maintain portfolio compliance)
In the private rental sector, it’s a legal obligation to provide a valid EICR to your tenants and the local authority when requested. Failure to do so can result in heavy fines or even invalid insurance cover.
