EICR Certificate for Landlords in Leeds: What You Need to Know

As trusted estate and letting agents in Leeds, Leeds Property Hub ensures landlords stay fully compliant with all legal requirements, including the essential Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).

Under current UK legislation, landlords must have a valid EICR for each rental property. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000 — making EICR compliance a critical responsibility for every landlord.

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of a property’s electrical systems and installations. It confirms whether the electrics are safe for continued use or if remedial work is required.

EICR Requirements for Landlords

• Mandatory for all rental properties in England, including Leeds.

• Must be carried out every five years by a qualified electrician.

• A copy of the EICR must be provided to tenants and, if requested, to the local authority.

• New tenants must receive an up-to-date EICR before moving in.

Fines and Penalties for Non-Compliance

If landlords fail to provide a valid EICR:

• Fines up to £30,000 can be issued by the local authority.

• Tenants can refuse to move in without a valid electrical safety certificate.

• Non-compliance can also impact your ability to evict tenants legally (under Section 21 notices).
