EICR

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
My friend is going to rent his property out. They had an EICR carrisd out less than 2 years ago with a retest date of 10 years. Since this no additions or alterations have been made to the installation. 

Question is do they need to carry out another EICR and is it classed as a change of tenant? I'm not sure as its a change from owner to tenant and not a change of one tenant to another tenant. Suggestions would be welcomed.

    Is there any obligation to get a full EICR at every change of tenancy?


    See the regulations, but in short: at the start of a new tenancy, the electrics must be inspected and tested, to no particualr standard or methodology.




    No it doesn't.  It says:




    (2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) “at regular intervals” means—

    (a)at intervals of no more than 5 years; or

    (b)where the most recent report under sub-paragraph (3)(a) requires such inspection and testing to be at intervals of less than 5 years, at the intervals specified in that report.


    Nothing about re-testing on every change of tenant.
