As a landlord, you have to meet these regulations for your only or main residence, including for an existing tenant as well as new properties. These regulations require landlords to have electrical installation condition testing done on their properties in Becontree at least every 5 years.
The person conducting these tests needs to be a qualified person with a qualification covering electrical testing. All of our team are qualified in this way and can help with the testing of an electrical installation.
All electrical wiring is assessed through a visual inspection initially during the EICR test, with further investigative work performed following this remedial work if required.
The way that your electrical systems are inspected and tested during EICR tests will vary based on the kind of systems, the location, and any remedial work that may have already been performed.
With the new regulations for landlords, not only is an EICR investigation required every 5 years in Becontree, but testing is also required for properties let on statutory periodic tenancies. In these properties, when the fixed term has expired, the tenancy rolls over to a periodic tenancy automatically by statute, not contract.
These new regulations mean that properties under periodic tenancies also require testing even if the tenants have not moved on, so your next inspection could be required sooner than you think.
Likewise, all existing specified tenancies require an electrical safety check since the regulations changed in 2021. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure that all electrical equipment in your properties is safe and meets national standards.
Working with us can ensure you work with a qualified electrician for this testing in Becontree and that you meet the requirements of the private rented sector.

An EICR test is done for both wired and fixed electrical installations, as well as an investigation of circuits within the property. All of this should be done by a qualified electrician, who can also perform the remedial work that may be required during testing.

Following the testing, there are specific marks that will be given in the report to determine the next steps.
This grade will be granted by the electrician following the initial investigation of your Becontree electrical installation condition report and will highlight whether further work is required.
All of their findings will be highlighted in the report, which can be presented to your local authority.
Following the testing, you will be marked as one of three grades.
These are:
This highlights that there is a danger present, and immediate remedial action is required
This indicates that an electrical installation is potentially dangerous and, therefore, remedial work needs to be done to rectify this, as per the electrical safety standards
This is an observed finding that indicates that while danger is not necessarily present, additional work may be required to improve safety standards.
If your EICR test indicates that remedial work is required due to poor safety standards, the private landlord will be met with a remedial notice. This is written confirmation that the landlord has agreed to get the required work completed within 28 days, or the period indicated in the report.
Failure to meet this remedial notice and the remedial work is not done by the agreed date, and the local authority can take over to get the work done. The landlord will later be charged for this.
If the landlord fails to test their appliances or meet the requirements of the local housing authority, they can be fined up to £30,000. Considering the low EICR cost that our team offers, it is time to book your next inspection to avoid issues.
