How often does an EICR need renewing for a rental property?

For many rented properties in England, the electrical installation condition report date is one of the most important dates to track. LettingReady treats this as a key readiness item.

What to check

  • Find the last electrical inspection date.
  • Check the report wording because the next inspection date may be stated by the qualified person.
  • Use a reminder date before expiry so you are not trying to arrange work at the last minute.

Common signs you need action

  • The report date is missing.
  • The property has changed hands and the current report cannot be found.
  • The report flagged remedial work that needs evidence of completion.
