Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of a property’s electrical systems, designed to identify potential hazards, deterioration, or non-compliance with current safety standards.
At Circle Property Assessments, we provide professional EICRs for residential and commercial properties across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire and surrounding areas, helping landlords, business owners and property managers meet their legal obligations while ensuring electrical safety.
What Is an EICR?
An EICR assesses the condition of fixed electrical installations including:
• Consumer units (fuse boards)
• Wiring and circuits
• Sockets and switches
• Lighting systems
• Earthing and bonding
The purpose of the inspection is to confirm whether your electrical installation is safe for continued use and complies with current regulations.
Electrical systems deteriorate over time, making regular inspections essential to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or equipment failure.
Who Needs an EICR?
You may require an EICR if you are:
• A landlord renting residential property
• A managing agent
• A business owner
• Responsible for commercial premises
• Selling or purchasing a property
In England, landlords must ensure rental properties have a valid EICR at least every five years, with copies provided to tenants and local authorities when requested.
Commercial premises also require regular electrical inspections under Health & Safety legislation.
