Protecting tenants, properties and your peace of mind
If you’re a landlord in East or West Sussex, you have a legal responsibility to ensure your property’s electrics are safe. That’s where EICR for Landlords comes in.
At CDS Electrical, we work with private landlords, letting agents and housing associations across Eastbourne, Brighton, Worthing, Crawley, Hastings and surrounding areas, delivering fast, professional EICR for Landlords and ensuring full compliance with the latest UK legislation.
What is an EICR for Landlords?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of your property's electrical systems and installations. It’s also commonly referred to as a landlord electrical safety certificate.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, an EICR for Landlords is now a legal requirement. You must have a valid report at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy.
Our qualified, NICEIC-approved engineers will:
Inspect all fixed wiring and installations
Identify any faults, damage, or deterioration
Highlight non-compliance with wiring regulations
Test for risks of electric shock or fire
Issue a full EICR with clear outcomes and next steps
Your Responsibility as a Landlord
As a landlord, it’s your duty to maintain safe electrical installations throughout your rental property, including consumer units, sockets, lighting and any appliances you provide.
A valid EICR for Landlords is essential not just for legal compliance but for tenant safety and peace of mind.
If faults are found during the EICR for Landlords inspection, remedial works must be carried out within 28 days and confirmation provided to both tenants and the local authority.
