Landlord Electrical Safety Inspections (EICR) in Sutton & Greater London
If you let out property in Sutton or across Greater London, keeping your electrical installation safe isn't optional — it's a legal duty. Kojo Electrics Ltd carries out certified Landlord Electrical Safety Inspections (EICR) for rental properties throughout Sutton, London and the wider area, helping you meet your obligations, keep tenants safe, and avoid enforcement action from your local council.
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of a property's fixed electrical wiring — including the consumer unit, sockets, and circuits. A qualified electrician checks for damage, wear, faulty connections, and anything that no longer meets current safety standards, then rates each finding by severity so you know exactly what, if anything, needs fixing.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, every private landlord in England must have their property's electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least once every 5 years — or sooner if a previous report specifies an earlier date. A copy of the report must be given to tenants and, if requested, to the local council.
What happens if I don't have a valid EICR?
Letting a property without an up-to-date EICR puts you in breach of the law. Councils can issue a remedial notice ordering you to act, and non-compliance can lead to a civil penalty — now increased to as much as £40,000 per offence following the Renters' Rights Act changes. An expired or missing EICR can also invalidate your landlord insurance and weaken your legal position if you ever need to serve notice on a tenant.

More Information
How often do I need an EICR as a landlord?
At least once every 5 years, or sooner if your previous report specifies a shorter interval. This applies to every private rental property in England from the start of a new tenancy, and has applied to all existing tenancies since April 2021.
How much does a landlord EICR cost in London?
Prices vary by property size, number of circuits, and age of the wiring, but London landlords typically pay more than the national average due to higher labour costs. A standard flat or house usually costs less than a larger HMO with multiple consumer units, since HMOs require more extensive testing. Get in touch for a tailored quote based on your property.
What happens if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?
An unsatisfactory report means the inspector has identified a C1 (immediate danger), C2 (potentially dangerous), or FI (further investigation needed) issue. You're legally required to complete the necessary remedial work within 28 days, then supply written confirmation of the repair to your tenants and, if requested, to the council.
Can I let my property with an unsatisfactory EICR?
No. If your report flags a C1, C2, or FI issue, the installation is not considered safe for continued use, and you cannot lawfully start a new tenancy until the required work is carried out and confirmed.
Do HMOs have different EICR requirements?
The core 5-year rule is the same, but HMOs often face closer scrutiny. Local councils may attach additional electrical safety conditions to an HMO licence, and inspections typically take longer and cost more due to the higher number of circuits, communal areas, and consumer units involved.
What's the difference between an EICR and PAT testing?
An EICR covers the property's fixed wiring — the consumer unit, sockets, and circuits built into the building. PAT testing checks portable appliances you supply, such as kettles or lamps. They're separate checks, and landlords may need both depending on what's provided in the tenancy.
What are the penalties for not having a valid EICR?
Local councils can issue a remedial notice and, since the Renters' Rights Act came into force, impose a civil penalty of up to £40,000 per offence — without needing to go to court first. An expired or missing EICR can also invalidate your landlord insurance and cause problems if you later need to serve notice on a tenant.
Do I need a new EICR every time I get a new tenant?
Not necessarily. If your existing EICR is still valid and no significant electrical work has taken place, you don't need a fresh inspection — but you must give the new tenant a copy of the current report before they move in.

What is a Landlord Electrical Safety Inspection (EICR)?
A Landlord Electrical Safety Inspection, officially known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), is a detailed assessment of the electrical systems in a rental property. This includes wiring, sockets, fuse boxes, switches, and all fixed electrical components. As of 1st July 2020, it is a legal requirement in England for landlords to carry out EICR inspections in all new tenancies—and from 1st April 2021, this extends to all existing tenancies as well. The inspection must be carried out at least once every five years by a qualified and competent electrician.
