Electrical installation condition report (EICR) notes (if applicable):  

As you are no doubt aware, all electrical installations deteriorate with age. Following guidelines from the British Standards, NICEIC and Guernsey Private Residential Landlords Association, we recommend no longer than 5 years between inspections for a rental property and 10 years for a domestic dwelling.

Having a regular check ensures that that installation is safe, and also protects the landlord’s own investment: if an electrical fault led to a fire, they’re looking at relocating tenants, refurbishment costs, and lost rent – the guidance recommends checking appliances too, but it’s not mandated.

An EICR will reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment is overloaded, find any potential electric shock risks and fire hazards, identify any defective electrical work and highlight any lack of earthing or bonding.  Tests are also carried out on wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they are safe for continued use.

We will note any observed damage, deterioration, defects, dangerous conditions and any non-compliances with the present-day safety standard.

The limitations on the inspection are the standard limitations we use, which provide a high standard of test, whilst also keeping the inspection and test as effective to the customer.

1. No connections to be removed from bus bars unless necessary.
