Landlord questions

How often does a rented home need an EICR?
In England, at least every five years, or sooner if the last report says so. New tenants get a copy before they move in, existing tenants within 28 days of the test.
What if the report finds problems?
C1 and C2 items must be fixed within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so. We quote for them with the report, and send written confirmation once they're done so you can pass it to your tenants and council.
Can you arrange access with my tenants?
Yes. Send us their numbers and we'll book a time with them directly and let you know when it's done.
Do you work with letting agents?
We test for several Nottingham agents. We can invoice the agent or you, whichever you prefer.
