What is a landlord EICR and how often do I need one?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a mandatory safety inspection for rental properties. Chester Sparks carries out landlord EICRs nationwide - every 5 years or at change of tenancy.

Is NAPIT the same as NICEIC?

Yes - they are legally and technically equivalent. Both NAPIT and NICEIC are authorised by the UK Government and operate to the exact same standards (BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and UKAS-accredited assessment). Both allow us to: Self-certify notifiable domestic electrical work Issue valid EICR certificates Notify EV charger installations Provide full consumer protection and insurance backing

Do I need an EICR before renting out my property in 2026?

Yes - it’s a legal requirement. Our NAPIT-registered engineers produce professional EICRs with clear coding and fixed-price remedial work if needed.

How much does a landlord EICR cost with Chester Sparks?

Prices start from £120 + VAT for a standard 3-bed house. Multi-property portfolios receive discounted rates.

Can Chester Sparks carry out EICR remedial works the same day?

In most cases, yes. We pride ourselves on completing repairs immediately so your property stays compliant and tenanted.

What happens if my rental property fails an EICR?

We provide a clear schedule of works, carry out repairs to the highest standard, and issue an updated EICR certificate - all under one roof.
