Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates in London
If you rent out a home in London the law says the fixed wiring must be inspected and tested at least every five years, and at the start of a new tenancy. The certificate that proves it is an EICR. You have to give a copy to your tenants and to the council if they ask for it. I do this work across London all week, from single flats to whole portfolios.
London rentals throw up the same problems again and again. Old boards with rewireable fuses, no RCD protection on socket circuits, bathroom extractor spurs added without proper isolation. I test the whole installation, grade each finding and tell you exactly which items must be fixed to make the report satisfactory. As an NICEIC Approved Contractor I certify the work properly, so what you hand your tenant stands up to scrutiny.
Portfolios welcome
One point of contact for several properties, with reports sent through together and access arranged around your tenants or your agent.
Remedials priced clearly
If the report comes back unsatisfactory you get a plain list of what must be done and a fixed price for it, with no pressure to use me.
Tenant-friendly visits
I turn up when I say I will, keep the power off for as short a time as possible and leave the place as I found it.
Your questions, answered
How often does a rented property need one?
At least every five years, and before a new tenancy starts if the last report has expired. Some councils and licensing schemes ask for them more often, so check your licence terms.
What happens if my report is unsatisfactory?
Any C1 or C2 items have to be put right within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so. I list them clearly and quote for the work, then issue written confirmation once it is done.
How much does a landlord certificate cost in London?
Most flats and small houses land between £150 and £250, with larger properties and HMOs between £250 and £400 because there are more circuits to test. Multi-property rates are agreed up front.
