ELECTRICAL CHECKS TO BECOME MANDATORY IN JULY 2020

More changes afoot, electrical safety checks are planned to become mandatory in England and have been put to Parliament for the first time.

From July last year, landlords already need a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to create new tenancies. From April 2021, the rules will expand to all ongoing tenancies.

Valid for 5 years, the report  covers the electrical fixtures, fittings and any fixed equipment, like boilers or hard-wired smoke alarms. This can be arranged through our qualified PROPERTY FIX team.

Landlords failing to comply with the new requirement could face a fine of up to £30,000. The new rules will be enforced by the local authority.
