As a London landlord, you are legally required to hold a valid EICR certificate for every privately rented property you let. The Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020 made the electrical installation condition report a statutory obligation, and failure to comply can result in financial penalties of up to £30,000 per property. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry out EICR inspections across all 32 London boroughs, with certificates from £85, same-day inspections, and no hidden fees.
We are fully insured with public liability cover, and every engineer is DBS checked, qualified to BS 7671 18th Edition standards, and registered with NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA. Whether you manage a single buy-to-let flat in London or a large HMO portfolio across Greater London, our experienced electricians deliver a thorough, reliable inspection and issue your certificate digitally once the inspection is complete. All 32 London boroughs are covered at a fixed price with no travel supplements, making us the trusted choice for landlords seeking a local, specialist EICR service.
An electrical safety certificate London landlords can rely on is a thorough electrical installation condition report carried out to BS 7671 wiring regulations by a qualified, registered electrician. The report systematically assesses every fixed electrical installation in your rental property, including the consumer unit, fuse board, wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings, earthing connections, bonding, and distribution board. Our experienced engineers examine each circuit in turn, testing for faults, deterioration, outdated wiring, and overloading that could present a hazard to tenants.
Every finding is recorded using the four-code system defined in BS 7671. A C1 code means danger is present and requires urgent action. A C2 code flags potentially dangerous conditions requiring remedial works within 28 days. A C3 code recommends improvement, and an FI code requests further investigation. Properties that receive a satisfactory outcome are issued a valid electrical safety certificate, which London landlords must provide to tenants and their local authority on request.
Our NICEIC, NAPIT, and ELECSA-registered electricians are fully insured with public liability cover, DBS checked, and available across all London boroughs for standard and same-day EICR inspections. The average inspection takes between one and four hours, and your certificate is issued once the inspection is complete.
London landlords must arrange an EICR inspection every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020. Our service is designed for private landlords, letting agents, and property managers who need a reliable, fast, and compliant solution.
A landlord electrical safety check London letting agents and property managers trust covers every aspect of your fixed wiring installation to protect tenants and meet your legal obligations.
EICR pricing in London starts from £85 for a one-bedroom residential property and is calculated on the number of circuits in your installation. Our fixed price model means no hidden fees, no surprise charges after the visit, and no obligation to use our remedial works service.

Landlords who manage portfolios of two or more properties benefit from reduced per-property pricing, making it easier to keep all your addresses compliant at the same time.

There are no call-back charges, no admin fees, and no unexpected extras.

An electrical installation condition report London landlords must obtain is a systematic, standardised assessment of all fixed electrical wiring and equipment carried out by a qualified electrician. The process begins with a visual inspection of the consumer unit, wiring, and all accessible accessories, followed by testing to verify the electrical integrity of each circuit identified during the circuit schedule phase. Our expert engineers test for insulation resistance, earth continuity, polarity, and RCD performance on every circuit throughout the property.
The completed electrical installation condition report uses the four-code system defined in BS 7671 to classify every observation made during the inspection. Any C1 or C2 code finding means the installation is rated unsatisfactory, and London landlords must carry out and evidence remedial works within 28 days of receiving the report. C3 codes represent recommendations rather than legal requirements. Our NICEIC-approved specialists serve all London boroughs and are available for urgent and same-day EICR inspections across all 32 London boroughs.
Understanding what is checked in an EICR in London helps landlords and tenants appreciate the scope and value of the inspection.
An EICR certificate London landlords obtain is valid for a maximum of five years for private rented properties under the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020.

The EICR regulations London landlords must comply with are clear, enforceable, and carry significant financial penalties for non-compliance.
When an EICR inspection identifies C1 or C2 code findings, London landlords are legally required to arrange remedial works within 28 days of the report date.
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is an official document produced by a qualified electrician after inspecting and testing a property's fixed electrical installation. It assesses the consumer unit, wiring, earthing, circuits, and accessories against BS 7671 wiring regulations standards, recording every finding with a C1, C2, C3, or FI code.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020, London landlords must obtain a new EICR at least every five years. The current EICR must be provided to each new tenant within 28 days of the tenancy starting and to any prospective tenant who requests a copy.
EICR certificates in London start from £85 at EICR Landlord Cert, with pricing based on the number of circuits in the property. A typical two-bedroom flat costs between £95 and £120, and a three-bedroom house between £110 and £150. All prices are fixed, include VAT, and cover the engineer visit, the full inspection, and the certificate issued once the inspection is complete.
EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report, formerly known as a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). The term EICR is used in the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020 and is the document London local authorities accept as proof of electrical safety compliance for private rented properties. It must be carried out by a qualified electrician registered with NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA.
An EICR inspection typically takes between one and four hours depending on property size, age, and the number of circuits. A one-bedroom flat may take around one hour, while a larger house or HMO could require a full day. Our experienced NICEIC-approved engineers work efficiently to complete the inspection with minimal disruption to tenants, and your certificate is issued digitally once the inspection is complete.
A London landlord without a valid EICR can be issued a financial penalty of up to £30,000 by their local authority under the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020. The local authority may also carry out remedial electrical works and recover the cost from the landlord. Failure to provide a valid EICR to a tenant or to complete remedial works within the required 28-day window are both separate grounds for enforcement action.
C1 means danger is present: the installation poses an immediate risk and must be addressed urgently before the property is let. 'C2' means potentially dangerous: the hazard is not immediate but requires remedial works within 28 days. 'C3' means improvement is recommended: there is no immediate safety concern, but changes would benefit the installation. An FI code means further investigation is required before the severity of a finding can be confirmed.
Yes. An EICR and an electrical safety certificate refer to the same document for private rented properties in London. The formal legal name is Electrical Installation Condition Report, but it is widely called an electrical safety certificate by landlords, letting agents, and tenants. Both terms appear in guidance documents for the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020 and are accepted by London local authorities as proof of compliance.
No. An EICR must be carried out by a qualified person with sufficient competence and appropriate test equipment. In practice, this means a registered electrician accredited by NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA. A non-qualified landlord cannot legally sign off an EICR report, and a certificate produced by an unregistered individual does not satisfy the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020 or meet local authority requirements.
A failed EICR means the property has one or more C1 or C2 code findings, meaning the installation is rated unsatisfactory. The landlord must arrange remedial works within 28 days, obtain written confirmation from the electrician once complete, and send this confirmation together with the original EICR to the local authority and to the tenant. A re-inspection may be required to confirm the installation has been brought to a satisfactory standard.
