Landlord EICR North London – Meet BS 7671 & 5-Year Safety Rules

If you own or manage rental property in North London, electrical compliance is not optional. A valid EICR helps prove the fixed electrical installation has been inspected, tested and assessed by a qualified person.

RE Electrical provides landlord EICRs in North London for flats, houses, HMOs, managed rentals, converted buildings and property portfolios. We help landlords understand their electrical safety duties, complete inspections, receive clear reports and arrange remedial works where required.

The 5-year landlord electrical safety requirement

GOV.UK guidance states that landlords must ensure electrical safety standards are met and that installations are inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. The standards are linked to BS 7671, the UK wiring regulations framework. Use this external link early on the page: GOV.UK electrical safety standards guidance for landlords.

What does a landlord EICR check?

A landlord EICR may review:

  • consumer unit or fuse box condition
  • RCD / RCBO protection
  • socket and lighting circuits
  • fixed wiring condition
  • earthing and bonding
  • signs of overheating or damage
  • suitability for continued use
  • previous alterations or DIY work
  • urgent safety issues
  • recommended improvements

The report will indicate whether the installation is satisfactory or whether remedial works or further investigation are needed. For a wider overview of certificates and testing across London, see our EICR testing North London page.
