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?

    Just for more context: British Gas are coming back on the 18/10/2021 to do their investigation.

    as for the faulty plug socket - the plug socket itself is fine it’s the wall around it that is crumbling away meaning it wouldn’t be a job for an electrician anyway. The only solution British Gas could offer would be to move the plug socket. I might add that the electrician the landlords sent round had no intention of doing anything with the plug socket that is unsafe. His solution to my tripping was to switch the 16 to a 32 and leave it at that. No investigation. Nothing.

    I think the reason why the landlord doesn’t want British Gas involved because the electrics are dodgy and if they have been wired wrong, the property would fail inspection. This could lead to it being condemned and then that’s not just my flat that is no longer usable but the whole building.

    the other thing that concerns me is the sheet says there has not been alterations to the electrics within 25 years, but the flats I live in were originally a house, which has been converted into 4 apartments. So I am assuming they must have been altered to some degree in order to convert the house? My flat is also in the attic.
