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.

    I think that Sparkingchip is in danger of assuming the authority of the local authority.


    The 2020 Regulations require:

    (5) Where paragraph (4) applies, a private landlord must—




    (a) obtain written confirmation from a qualified person that the further investigative or remedial work has been carried out and that—




    (i) the electrical safety standards are met;


    That could be in the form of a new EICR, but it could also be as simple as, "I John Smith confirm that I have undertaken the remedial work detailed in the report of 25 December 2020 and that the installation now meets the electrical safety standards."


    The problem with Sparkingchip's approach is that he has now created a legal obligation upon the landlord to get a second EICR within 28 days and that is manifestly unreasonable.
