The Importance Of An Electrical Installation Condition Report As a landlord, you have a duty of care when it comes to your tenants. You are responsible for ensuring all electrical appliances you have provided are PAT tested by an electrician in order to receive an EICR. PAT tests are carried out to ensure that appliances are fully functional and safe to use.
If all appliances have been successfully tested, you must provide a copy of your EICR to your tenants. However, if the report highlights any issues, they must be resolved by a fully competent electrician within 28 days of the initial inspection date. You must then provide proof that the issue is resolved and has met the safety standards. This is a legal requirement. If you fail to comply, you could face a fine of up to £30,000 and insurance companies can use this as a reason to refuse your claims.

Why Electrical Testing Is Important When it comes to electrical appliances within a rental property, it is very important that they have been thoroughly tested. We use some appliances every day, therefore their functionality will begin to change over time. If appliances are not tested regularly, it could lead to issues such as a house fire or accidental shock.
We recommend that appliances are checked thoroughly once a year to ensure they remain in the best condition. Our team can advise you on when your appliances will need replacing in order to comply with safety standards. By ensuring all appliances are tested and safe, your tenants can be assured that they can put their full confidence in you, should they ever have any problems. For increased safety, we recommend that you ask your tenants to register any appliances they bring into your property.
