In England, a private rented home needs a valid EICR at least every five years, and a current report before a new tenancy if the last one is out of date. Homeowners use the same test for a sale, a remortgage, or simply to know the wiring is sound.
Scan the sticker on the consumer unit to open that property’s certificate, photos and older reports. No hunting through emails when a tenant, buyer or electrician asks.
Landlords with several homes get an overview. Each property has its own button. It turns red when the EICR is past its due date.
If a report is missing or out of date, an insurer can question whether the electrics were being maintained. After an electrical fire or injury, that can affect a claim.
Both include a full Electrical Installation Condition Report to BS 7671. The difference is what happens to the record afterwards.
