What you get for £175

A SATISFACTORY EICR, OR A CLEAR LIST OF WHAT TO FIX.

An EICR is a check of the property's permanent fixed electrics: the wiring, sockets, switches, fuse board and light fittings. A qualified electrician from our network carries out the test, looks for hazards or anything outdated, and produces a written report.

The report comes back either satisfactory or unsatisfactory, with any observations coded by severity (C1 danger present, C2 potentially dangerous, C3 improvement recommended, FI further investigation). If anything is unsatisfactory you have 28 days to put it right. We'll quote any remedial work separately so there are no surprises on the day.

The law requires a satisfactory EICR every five years for rented properties. Fines for skipping it run up to £30,000 per breach, and unsafe electrics can invalidate your landlord insurance. We make it boring, which is the point.

 

"Hello Neighbour are absolutely incredible. I am a new landlord and have had negative experiences with traditional estate agents to find rentals in the past.
Victoria Berry was fantastic, she provided advice on fair rental expectations, getting appropriate certification and even arranged electrical safety checks and subsequent remediation work."

Common questions

QUESTIONS ON EICRs.

How often do I legally need an EICR?

For privately rented properties in England, the law requires a satisfactory EICR at least every five years, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

You also need one before new tenants move in if you don't have a current report, and you must give a copy to the tenant within 28 days of the inspection (or before move-in, whichever is sooner).

What's the difference between "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory"?

A report is satisfactory if the electrician finds no C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) issues. C3 (improvement recommended) and FI (further investigation) observations don't make the report unsatisfactory, but landlords often choose to act on them anyway.

If the report comes back unsatisfactory, the law requires remedial work within 28 days. We'll quote that work separately so you can decide who carries it out.

 

What happens if I skip it?

Fines for not having a valid EICR can reach £30,000 per breach. Unsafe electrics may also invalidate your landlord insurance, and if something goes wrong, you could be personally liable.

The local authority can ask for a copy of your EICR at any time. You have seven days to provide it.

What does the electrician actually do during the inspection?

It's not just a visual check. The electrician uses specialist test equipment to check wiring, circuits and safety devices like trip switches. They'll check sockets and light fittings, confirm earthing and bonding arrangements, and assess any fixed electrical appliances.

Expect the power to be switched off briefly at points during the test. The visit usually takes two to three hours for a typical flat or small house, longer for larger properties or HMOs.

Does the £175 cover any repair work?

No. The £175 covers the inspection and report. If the report identifies issues that need remedial work, the electrician will provide a separate quote. You're free to use them or get another electrician to do the work.

If the work is needed to bring the report up to satisfactory, it must be completed within 28 days.

How are your electricians vetted?

Every electrician on our network is interviewed, credential-checked and reference-tested before they take their first job for us. They must hold current NICEIC, NAPIT or ECA registration, demonstrate BS 7671 competence, and carry professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

After every job, the landlord rates the work. Contractors who consistently fall below standard come off the network.

How quickly can you book it in?

Most bookings happen within the same week. We coordinate access directly with your tenant, so you don't need to be there. The written report usually lands in your inbox within 48 hours of the inspection.

Do I need to be there?

No. We'll arrange access with your tenant directly. If the property is empty between tenancies, we can use a key from your safe, a key safe code, or coordinate with you.
