Why You Need an EICR in Liverpool

If you rent out a property in or around Liverpool, you are legally required to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) — also known as an Electrical Safety Certificate.

Under the current regulations, all private rented homes must have a valid EICR every 5 years.

An up-to-date EICR ensures that your electrical installation is safe, compliant and fit for use by tenants.

FAQ's

Q. What is an EICR?

A. An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is an inspection that checks the condition and safety of a property's electrical installations. It identifies fire risks, electric shock hazards, overloaded circuits, inadequate earthing or bonding, and defective electrical work.

Q. Do landlords in Liverpool need an EICR?

A. Yes. All landlords in Liverpool must provide a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for their rental properties under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. A new report is required at least every five years.

Q. How long does an EICR Inspection take?

A. The length of an EICR inspection depends on the size of the property. Most electrical safety checks take between 2 hours and a full day to complete.

Q. Who can produce a valid EICR?

A. An EICR must be carried out by a fully qualified and experienced electrician who is competent to test electrical installations and provide a certified Electrical Safety Certificate.

Q. What happens during an EICR inspection?

A. During an EICR inspection, the electrician will disconnect the mains power supply to safely test each electrical circuit. They check for fire hazards, shock risks, overloaded circuits, RCD protection, earthing issues, and any unsafe DIY work. A final report is issued once any required repairs are completed.

What Happens During an EICR Inspection?

To complete the EICR, the electrician must carry out a full Electrical Installation Check. This includes:

• Temporarily disconnecting the mains power supply

• Testing individual circuits for faults

• Inspecting wiring, consumer units and electrical components

• Checking the condition and safety of sockets, switches and fittings

The inspection time can vary depending on the size and condition of the property — typically from 2 hours up to a full day.

If any repairs or remedial work are required, these must be completed before the final Electrical Safety Certificate can be issued.
