Do I Need an EICR? A Simple Guide for UK Homeowners & Landlords

An EICR – or Electrical Installation Condition Report – is a formal inspection of your property’s electrical system. It’s designed to check that your home or rental is safe and compliant with current UK standards.

Is It a Legal Requirement?

Yes – for landlords, it’s now the law to have an EICR done every 5 years or when a tenancy changes. Homeowners are also strongly recommended to get one every 10 years – or when selling or buying a home.

What’s Checked in an EICR?

• The condition of your fuseboard (consumer unit)
• Wiring integrity and insulation
• Socket and light fitting safety
• Presence of RCD protection
• Signs of overloading or overheating
