An EICR certificate is legally required for rental properties in the UK and recommended when selling.

The certificate identifies any electrical hazards or code violations that need immediate attention to ensure occupant safety.
Common Questions
What exactly is an EICR Assessment?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a comprehensive electrical safety inspection carried out by a qualified electrician. The assessment examines the electrical installation, including consumer units, wiring, sockets, switches, and fixed appliances, to ensure they are safe and compliant with current BS 7671 wiring regulations.
How long does an EICR Assessment take?
An EICR inspection typically takes between 2-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of your property's electrical installation. The electrician will conduct visual inspections, electrical tests, and document all findings. Larger properties with more circuits will require more time.
What properties need an EICR Assessment?
An EICR is legally required for all rental properties in England since July 2020. It's also recommended when buying or selling a property, and for insurance purposes. Commercial properties, HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), and properties undergoing major electrical work also require EICR certificates.
How much does an EICR Assessment cost in Manchester?
EICR inspection costs start from £119 and vary depending on the size and complexity of your electrical installation. Larger properties with more circuits may cost more due to the increased time required for testing. We provide instant quotes so you know the exact cost upfront.
How long is an EICR certificate valid?
An EICR certificate is typically valid for 5 years for rental properties and 10 years for owner-occupied properties. However, if any electrical work is carried out, a new EICR may be required depending on the scope of work. The certificate may also recommend a shorter interval if issues are found.
What happens if I don't have an EICR when selling or renting?
EICRs are legally required for private rental properties in England, Scotland and Wales, to be carried out at least every five years. Landlords must provide a copy to new tenants before move-in, to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and to the local authority on request. In England and Wales, civil penalties for non-compliance can be up to £30,000 per breach; in Scotland, local authorities can impose significant penalties and even withdraw landlord registration. While an EICR is not compulsory for property sales, offering one can reassure buyers and may be required by some lenders or insurers.
