EICR Valid?

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hello,

I recieved an EICR for my Private Rented property from the landord. However, the post code of the address is wrong. Is the EICR still valid? It was done over a year ago, so Is it allowed to be corrected via just changing the post code or do the whole electrics need to be retested/inspected?

    Thanks for the response - but how do I know for certain if the electrics have been done correctly at the correct address if the postcode is wrong? I had a British Gas engineer tell me the certificate would become void, he also seemed concerned at my electrics tripping and suggested they could have been installed incorrectly - when I told my landlord this, they cancelled British Gas and involved the electrician who did the EICR despite them having a care package with British Gas, which includes EICR. I am struggling to find any concrete legislation on the specific issue.
