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.

    Good morning David


    I do periodics on 70 small warden controlled flats every 5 years for a charity. After I have done these an electrician goes around rectifies all the non-compliances installed from the previous inspections.


    Whilst the conditions signed for by the tenants are clear about alterations and additions being carried out by the charities own contractor they are often not complied with. The usual one is the installation of light fittings, dimmer switches and electric cooker (no gas) by the occupants son or son-in-law (nice boy he used to work in the TV shop in the high street) which I find to be un-earthed. Around 3 or 4 RCDs fail test every 5 years (140 fitted) they may get picked up earlier with an annual check or on change of tenancy.
