Landlord Electrical Safety report ( EICR )North Wales

Goodwin Electrical offer a range of services intended to take the stress of out letting property. Under various statutory legislation landlords have an obligation to ensure all electrical installations and equipment are safe such as EICRs which are sometimes know as landlord electrical safety reports. We are also approved NICEIC contractors so can provide a EICR which is accepted by insurance companies.

EICR tests in Wales

Before 2022, there were no rules about rental properties in Wales.

In January 2022, the Welsh Government said they’d start doing EICR tests, as well as some other stuff in the Renting Homes (Wales) Act.

From 1 December 2022, landlords need an EICR certificate (or landlord electrical safety certificate) for each property they own in Wales. These rules are for both private and social landlords.

They were supposed to start in July 2022, but they pushed it back.

These new EICR rules mean Wales will be like Scotland and England, where they already have to do these checks every five years.
