Landlords in London are legally required to ensure their rental properties are electrically safe — and that means having a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This electrical safety certificate not only safeguards your tenants and investment but also keeps you compliant with UK housing regulations.
At Fraser Bond, we offer fully managed EICR inspections and compliance services across Greater London, giving landlords peace of mind with minimal disruption.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety of a property’s fixed electrical systems, including:
Wiring
Consumer units (fuse boxes)
Sockets and switches
Lighting circuits
Earth bonding and protection devices
After the inspection, a qualified electrician will issue an EICR stating whether the installation is:
Satisfactory – safe for continued use
Unsatisfactory – requires remedial work (e.g. C1, C2, FI faults)
Yes. Since 1 April 2021, it is mandatory for all landlords in England — including those in London — to:
Obtain a valid EICR every 5 years
Provide a copy to new tenants before they move in
Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of inspection
Submit a copy to the local authority upon request within 7 days
Complete any remedial work within 28 days (or sooner if specified)
Failure to comply can result in civil penalties of up to £30,000.
A certified electrician will:
Inspect fixed wiring and assess compliance with the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations
Test circuits for safety, overloading, or faults
Check earthing and bonding adequacy
Identify any C1 (danger), C2 (potential danger), or FI (further investigation needed) issues
Provide a report and classification of the property’s condition
If faults are found, remedial work must be completed and a follow-up inspection issued to confirm safety.
