Electrical Remedial Work Following an EICR
If you recently had an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) completed for your property, this may have identified some faults or defects requiring remedial action. The EICR will outline the specific issues found, with each fault assigned a code.
Understanding EICR Codes:
Code C1:Indicates danger present, risk of injury, immediate remedial action required.
Code C2:Indicates a potential danger, meaning the installation is in an unsatisfactory condition and urgent remedial action required.
Code C3:Refers to an observed issue where improvements are recommended but not required for immediate safety.
Code FI: Further Investigation Required without delay
Receiving a C1, C2, or FI code means your EICR inspection has been deemed Unsatisfactory.
Depending on Engineer’s observations, your EICR will either be “SATISFACTORY” or “UNSATISFACTORY”. If your EICR is UNSATISFACTORY, it means the electrical installation has a high risk of danger to yourself, tenants or your employees.
It is vital that these issues are resolved, in order to receive a satisfactory report. Until the remedial work is completed, your installation will not be compliant with Health and Safety regulations and legislations.

Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate: What Do You Need to Know?
As of April 2021, it is a legal obligation for landlords to provide a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to both existing and new tenants. This report ensures that the property’s electrical systems meet safety standards.
As a landlord, you are responsible for ensuring the safety of all electrical installations and any appliances provided within the property. You must ensure that these are safe at the start of a new tenancy and are maintained throughout the tenant's stay.
Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant penalties, including fines of up to £30,000. Additionally, your property insurance could be voided, and in cases of serious or repeated offenses, banning orders may be imposed.
Do I Need an EICR to Sell My House or Flat?
While it’s not a legal requirement to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) when selling your house or flat, having an up-to-date EICR can offer peace of mind to potential buyers, particularly for properties with older electrical systems.
In some cases, estate agents may request a valid EICR as part of the selling process to demonstrate the safety and condition of the electrical installation. Providing a valid EICR can enhance buyer confidence and potentially streamline the sale of your property.
Homeowners are recommended to have it carried out at-least once every 10 years to ensure electrical safety within their property.
