An EICR checks the fixed electrical installation, not loose appliances
An Electrical Installation Condition Report looks at the condition of the fixed wiring and electrical installation. This can include circuits, consumer unit, sockets, switches, earthing and bonding. It is commonly requested by landlords, agents, HMO managers and property managers before a tenancy, renewal, licence application or managed-property handover.
The report is different from a PAT test. PAT testing is for portable appliances, while an EICR focuses on the installation itself. If the property needs both, say so at the start so the enquiry can be planned with the right certificate route.
EICR enquiries for real London property situations
A useful electrical enquiry gives the address, property type, access route and reason for the report. That is more helpful than a generic certificate request because EICR deadlines often sit alongside tenancy, licensing or portfolio work.
Private landlords
Arrange an EICR enquiry for a rented flat, house or maisonette before a tenancy, renewal or report expiry date.
Letting agents
Send the managed property address, tenant or key-holder details, move-in deadline and any existing electrical report.
Property managers
Group EICR renewals for portfolios, HMOs, managed blocks or mixed compliance lists across London boroughs.
Homeowners and sellers
Request an electrical condition report when you need clearer information before a sale, let, refurbishment or handover.

Electrical Certificate and EICR FAQs
Is an electrical safety certificate the same as an EICR?
In landlord enquiries, an electrical safety certificate usually means an Electrical Installation Condition Report, often shortened to EICR. It reports on the condition of the fixed electrical installation and says whether it is satisfactory or whether further work is needed.
How often do landlords need an EICR?
For rented homes in England, the electrical installation must be inspected and tested at intervals of no more than five years, or sooner if the previous report says a shorter interval is needed. Always check the date and recommendation on the latest report.
Does an EICR include PAT testing?
No. An EICR covers the fixed electrical installation such as circuits, consumer unit, sockets, switches and earthing or bonding. PAT testing is a separate check for portable electrical appliances.
What happens if the EICR is unsatisfactory?
An unsatisfactory report may identify urgent danger, potential danger or further investigation. Send the report details when you enquire so the next step, remedial work route or recheck requirement can be discussed clearly.
Can a letting agent or property manager arrange the EICR?
Yes. Letting agents and property managers can book on behalf of landlords, tenants or managed portfolios. Include the property address, access contact, tenant availability and any renewal or move-in deadline.
Can I book an EICR with gas, EPC or PAT testing?
Often, yes. Tell us if the same address also needs a gas safety certificate, EPC, PAT test, HMO certificate, smoke alarm check or fire-safety inspection so the enquiry can be planned around the full compliance list.
