Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, letting agents, HMOs, and managed rental properties across London.
Landlord EICR Checks With Clear Next Steps
An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, assesses the fixed electrical installation in a property and records whether it is safe for continued use.
For landlords and agents, an EICR is not just paperwork. It helps identify electrical risks, supports compliance with rented-sector safety requirements, and gives tenants confidence that the installation has been inspected by a properly qualified person.
Wasser Group carries out EICR inspections across London for rental flats, houses, HMOs, blocks, and managed portfolios. If the report identifies defects, we explain what the codes mean and what remedial work may be needed.

What the EICR Covers
The inspection focuses on the fixed electrical installation, not loose tenant-owned appliances.
Wiring, Sockets and Switches
Fixed wiring, accessories, sockets, switches, and visible installation condition are inspected and tested where appropriate.
Earthing and Safety Protection
The report checks key safety measures including earthing, bonding, RCD protection, polarity, and signs of deterioration or unsafe alterations.
Who Needs an Electrical Certificate?
Landlords in England need to make sure electrical installations in rented properties are inspected and tested at least every five years by a properly qualified person. This applies to private rented homes and, under updated guidance, the rented-sector standards now also cover social rented properties.
- Private landlords renting a house or flat.
- Letting agents managing electrical safety compliance.
- HMO landlords with higher-use electrical installations.
- Portfolio managers coordinating inspections across multiple London addresses.
When Should It Be Renewed?
An EICR is usually required at least every 5 years for rented properties, unless the report recommends a shorter interval. A new inspection may also be sensible after significant electrical work, property damage, or concerns about the installation.
If the EICR is unsatisfactory, landlords should arrange remedial work promptly and keep records showing the necessary safety work has been completed.

Common EICR Issues Found
An EICR can uncover older wiring, missing protection, or unsafe alterations that need attention.
Missing RCD Protection
Older installations may not have modern residual current device protection where it is expected for safety.
Damaged Accessories
Cracked sockets, loose fittings, exposed conductors, or worn accessories can lead to unsatisfactory observations.
Poor Earthing or Bonding
Earthing and bonding issues can affect fault protection and often need proper investigation and remedial work.
