Electrical Installation Condition Report - What You Need to Know in 2025
Calling all Landlords in Ferndown, Bournemouth and the surrounding areas, is your EICR due for renewal?
Read here why EICR’s expire every five years and how Electrisafe your local Electrician in Northbourne can help you stay compliant.
If you’re a landlord in Bournemouth, Ferndown, or Northbourne, there’s an important electrical safety deadline you can’t just can’t afford to miss.
Since 1st July 2020, private landlords in England have been required by law to ensure the electrical installations in their rented properties are inspected and tested at least every five years.
A copy of the report must be given to new tenants before they move in, and to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
What does this mean?
This now means that many properties in the area are now due or overdue for their EICR renewal in 2025.
At Electrisafe, your local electrician in the Bournemouth area, we’ve seen a rise in calls from landlords whose certificates are now expiring.
What Is an EICR and Why Is It Required?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of the electrical systems within a property.
During the inspection we check for:
⚡️Overloaded circuits
⚡️Potential fire hazards
⚡️Unsafe wiring
⚡️Outdated fuse boxes/consumer units
⚡️Signs of wear, damage or DIY repairs
⚡️Proper earthing and bonding
Why Are Many EICRs Expiring Now?
⚡️Because the five-year law came into effect in mid-2020, many landlords received their first EICRs that summer.
⚡️Now, in 2025, we’ve reached the five-year expiry point.
That means a significant number of properties are now due for retesting to remain legally compliant.
Failing to renew your EICR could mean :
⚠️Fines of up to £30,000 from local authorities
⚠️Invalidation of landlord insurance
⚠️Endangering tenants’ lives
⚠️Delays in re-letting or renewing tenancies
How Can You Check If Your EICR Is Still Valid?
✔️Look on your existing certificate, for the date of inspection and the recommended re-test date
✔️If it says “Next Inspection Due: 2025” or earlier, it’s now time to book your next EICR.
Even if your property is relatively new, the law still applies. Electrical systems can deteriorate over time due to DIY modifications usage and wear and tear, making regular electrical safety inspections essential.
