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?

    Interesting question but the answer is that the postcode is for the post office to use and is an addition to your address. If you look at the deeds to an older property you will not find a postcode, but this does not change the property identification. A postcode covers around 20 properties, it is not specific to your house, even the post office still uses the number. Some other countries do have postcodes that identify single properties, this may happen here for large buildings, but not usually domestics.
