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.

    That is a typical EICR from many places. A high percentage of EICRs are improperly done, have made up test results, and not worth anything. Doing the job is not difficult, but it does mean knowing the regs and typical problems. It does NOT mean dismantling the entire installation. The reason for this? The EICR is used as a way to get remedial work, hence my continuous suggestion that the inspecting company may not do remedials, then there is no point in doing poor EICRs! JP has found that this model works, so why not change the law?
