Who needs an EICR?
Domestic or residential Property
The majority of people needing an EICR will be landlords and Estate Agents. Landlords, to comply with the latest regulations which
came into force on 1 June 2020 and Estate Agents will require one when selling your property. Most domestic building insurance policies
will have a clause requiring the householder to maintain the property in good condition, ten year testing should satisfy this requirement.
Commercial Property
EICR’s for commercial buildings are not a legal requirement, but proving you maintain a safe electrical system is. An up-to-date electrical
certificate can show that a building’s electrical installations are safe and compliant, in line with regulations like
the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Our team are the experts when it comes to your business and the legislation that can affect it.

replacing the unit has been a recommendation following a periodic inspection. Additionally, it may be that the existing consumer unit is in a
poor condition. The latest regulations (see below) may require additional safety features are installed in your new consumer unit.
