Getting an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which includes an electrical inspection and test every so often, is essential for landlords for a number of reasons. firstly, it assists you in carrying out your legal responsibilities as a landlord by proving adherence to rules and your duty of care to your occupants. Second, it protects your renters, by spotting any possible electrical risks or issues with the wiring or installations of the building. By taking quick action to resolve these problems, mishaps like electric shocks, fires, or appliance damage can be avoided.

When doing an EICR electrical inspection and testing on a property with one or two bedrooms, allow two to three hours. Depending on the number of circuits and size of the property, 3–5 beds can take up to 3-8 hours to complete.
Does an EICR cause disturbance?
Electrical testing necessitates periodic power isolation; however, the testing of some electrical accessories can be avoided and noted as a "limitation" if doing so would disrupt your home or place of business significantly.
