Landlord Compliance FAQ

How often do I need an EICR?

Landlords must obtain an EICR at least every 5 years, or whenever there is a change of tenancy if recommended on the previous report.

What happens if my property fails an EICR?

If your report lists C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) codes, you have a legal obligation to carry out the required remedial work within 28 days. We provide a detailed quote and carry out remedial repairs promptly to ensure your property remains compliant.
