An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is the formal document produced after a periodic inspection of a property's fixed electrical installation. Landlords in England are legally required to have one every five years. Home buyers and sellers often request one; mortgage lenders and insurers may require one for older properties. Owner-occupiers in homes that haven't been inspected in many years benefit from one as a safety check.
An Unsatisfactory result means C1 or C2 observations were found. C1 items (dangerous) need remedying immediately; C2 items (potentially dangerous) should be addressed promptly. Smart Choice Sparks quotes remedial work separately and clearly — you are not obliged to have it carried out by the same electrician who did the inspection, though Matthew can discuss the most practical approach.
Yes. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have a valid EICR carried out every five years and to provide a copy to tenants and, where requested, to the local housing authority.
