Landlord Electrical Certificates Ceredigion
As a Ceredigion landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure that your rental property meets the required electrical safety standards. One way to ensure compliance is by obtaining an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for your property.
The testing process for an EICR involves a thorough inspection and testing of all electrical installations in your property, including sockets, switches, lighting, and distribution boards.

Our qualified electricians use specialized equipment and testing methods to identify any potential hazards, such as faulty wiring, inadequate earthing, or outdated components. We will also conduct visual inspections of your electrical installations to identify any visible damage or signs of wear and tear. Once the testing is complete, we will provide you with a detailed report outlining any issues found and recommendations for improvements. By conducting an EICR, you can ensure that your rental property is safe for your tenants and compliant with regulations.

The Regulations require landlords to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a person who is qualified and competent, at an interval of at least every 5 years.

EICR Benefits for Landlords in Ceredigion
Enhanced safety: EICRs are designed to identify and highlight any electrical hazards or faults in your electrical systems, enabling you to take corrective action to minimize risks and ensure the safety of your property’s occupants.
Compliance with regulations: EICRs are mandatory for landlords and provide proof that your electrical installations meet the required safety standards set out in the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Reduced liability: By obtaining an EICR, you can demonstrate that you have taken steps to ensure the safety of your property’s occupants, thereby reducing your liability in the event of any electrical accidents.
Cost savings: EICRs can help identify potential problems before they escalate into costly repairs, ensuring that Ceredigion landlords and property owners can address issues early and avoid expensive emergency repairs.
Peace of mind: EICRs provide Ceredigion residents with assurance that electrical installations are safe, compliant, and in good condition, giving you peace of mind and enabling you to focus on other aspects of property management.
EICR for Heritage Properties around Ceredigion
Heritage properties may require special attention when it comes to electrical safety standards and certification. Currently the law states landlords must acquire new EICR certificates every five years. However, you can have your electrics tested at any time you choose, giving you added peace of mind with regard to electrical safety to protect those Ceredigion heritage properties and landmarks.
Owners of older buildings such as thatched cottages and timber-frame buildings may benefit from an increased frequency of EICR testing to decrease risks of electrical fires for example.
Heritage properties, especially those with unique construction materials or features, may require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their electrical safety. Here are some examples of heritage properties that may require more frequent EICR testing:
Listed Buildings: Properties that are listed or located within a conservation area may have old electrical systems that require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their safety.
Thatched Roofs: Thatched roofs can be a fire hazard if the electrical system is not up to date. Hence, it is important to have an EICR done more frequently on these types of properties.
Timber-framed Buildings: Properties with wooden frames, especially those with timber cladding, may require more frequent EICR testing due to the increased risk of electrical fires.
Historic Properties: Historic properties with unique architectural features, such as old wiring systems, may require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their safety and prevent potential hazards.
Converted Properties: Properties that have been converted from their original use, such as barn conversions, may have unique electrical systems that require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their safety.
