HMO PAT testing is about the landlord-supplied appliances, not the fixed wiring
An HMO PAT enquiry is most useful when it starts with a clear appliance list. Shared kitchens, utility rooms, communal areas and furnished bedrooms may include landlord-supplied items that need checking, recording or reviewing before a tenancy, licence renewal, managing agent handover or safety file update.
This is different from an HMO electrical safety certificate or EICR. The EICR covers the fixed electrical installation. PAT testing looks at portable or movable appliances and associated leads. In a furnished HMO, both records may be useful, but they answer different questions and should not be presented as the same certificate.
HMO appliance checks for real shared-house situations
The strongest booking request explains the rooms, shared spaces, furnished areas and appliance list. That helps avoid vague PAT enquiries where the number of appliances and access needs are not clear.

HMO PAT Testing Certificate FAQs
What is an HMO PAT testing certificate?
It is a record after portable or movable landlord-supplied electrical appliances have been inspected and, where appropriate, tested for an HMO property file. The certificate or report normally depends on the appliance list, room access, shared-area appliances and the reason the evidence is needed.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement every year?
HSE guidance says the law requires electrical equipment that could cause injury to be maintained in a safe condition, but it does not specify annual PAT testing or make inspection and testing of every appliance a fixed legal requirement. HMO licence conditions, managing agent rules or risk level may still require clear appliance records.
Which HMO appliances are usually included?
Common HMO PAT enquiries include landlord-supplied kettles, microwaves, toasters, fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers, lamps, vacuum cleaners, extension leads and small appliances in shared kitchens, communal areas and furnished tenant rooms.
Is HMO PAT testing the same as an EICR?
No. An EICR checks the fixed electrical installation, such as circuits, sockets, consumer units and fixed wiring. PAT testing is about portable or movable electrical appliances supplied by the landlord or managed property. Many HMO landlords need both records for different reasons.
What details should I send before booking?
Send the HMO postcode, room count, shared areas, appliance list, whether tenant rooms are furnished, access details, existing PAT records and whether the request is connected to a licence, renewal, managing agent file or tenant handover.
Can HMO PAT testing be booked with other certificates?
Yes. HMO PAT testing is often discussed with EICR, gas safety, smoke alarm checks, fire alarm certificates, emergency lighting, fire risk assessment, carbon monoxide alarm checks and EPC evidence. Listing everything at the start helps plan access and reduce repeat visits where possible.
