EICR Newham — 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 Newham 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 Newham — local property context

Newham has been significantly transformed by the 2012 Olympics and continued regeneration, with new build developments alongside older Victorian and post-war terraced housing. The borough has very high HMO activity, particularly in Forest Gate, Manor Park, and Plaistow. Elizabeth line access from Stratford has increased rental demand and landlord investment significantly.

One of London's fastest-growing rental markets with strong yields and high demand driven by Stratford's connectivity and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Our NICEIC approved electricians are experienced with the specific electrical characteristics common to properties in the E6, E7, E13, E15, E16, E20 postcode areas and regularly carry out EICR inspections across Newham for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.
