Landlords Electrical Testing and Certification 2025: Stay Compliant with EICRs
As 2025 arrives, ensuring your rental properties are electrically safe is more important than ever. Under current legislation, all landlords in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) are legally required to carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least every 5 years.
At Signature Electrics Ltd, we help landlords across Havering, Essex, and East London remain fully compliant, protect their properties, and keep tenants safe.
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive inspection of your property's electrical systems. It covers:
Consumer units (fuse boards)
Electrical wiring & circuits
Sockets & switches
Lighting systems
Earthing and bonding
Safety devices (such as RCDs)
Following the inspection, we'll issue a detailed report indicating whether your property is safe (Satisfactory) or if remedial work is needed.
Landlord Legal Responsibilities in 2025
The regulations remain clear:
✅ All rental properties must hold a valid EICR (max 5 years old)
✅ Provide a copy to new tenants before move-in
✅ Share with existing tenants within 28 days of inspection
✅ Complete remedial work within 28 days (or sooner if specified)
✅ Non-compliance may result in fines up to £30,000
