EICR Islington — from £67.99

What is an EICR?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection and test of all fixed electrical wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings and the consumer unit within a rental property. A qualified NICEIC approved electrician tests every circuit from the consumer unit, checks earthing and bonding arrangements, and assigns a condition code to every observation that falls below the current British Standard BS 7671 — the IET Wiring Regulations. The result is a written report that tells you whether the electrical installation is satisfactory for continued use and — if not — what needs to be addressed and within what timeframe.

Since April 2021, every private landlord in England has been legally required to hold a valid EICR and renew it every five years. Landlords in Islington are subject to exactly the same obligation as landlords elsewhere in England. Failure to comply can result in a civil penalty of up to £30,000 per property and a remedial notice from your local authority.

EICR in Islington — local property context

Islington is dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraces, many converted into flats, particularly in Highbury, Canonbury, and Barnsbury. The borough has one of the highest rental market proportions in London. Many Georgian properties have complex original or partially updated electrical installations, and terraced conversions frequently have shared fuse boxes and old wiring.

A premium rental market with very high demand from professionals, media workers, and City commuters. One of London's most active buy-to-let markets. Our NICEIC approved electricians are experienced with the specific electrical characteristics common to properties in the EC1, N1, N4, N5, N7, N19 postcode areas and regularly carry out EICR inspections across Islington for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.
