Landlords in Wales must obtain a valid electrical condition report every 5 years in respect of every residential property let to tenants. Electrical condition reports (also known as EICRs) must be carried out by a qualified person and set out the results of an electrical safety inspection. Landlords must provide a copy of the property’s most recent EICR to tenants within 14 days of them taking up occupation.
As a homeowner, you may wish to instruct an EICR to ensure your property is safe for occupation, or as part of a sale of your home for your buyers’ reassurance. It’s recommended that homeowners carry out an EICR every 10 years, or sooner if a property is older or has undergone significant electrical installation works.
Electrical condition reports, or EICRs, are produced by APP Electrical in line with the Regulations and BS 7671 UK standards, inspecting and testing wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that a property’s electrical installation is safe.

An EICR electrical condition report is a detailed inspection of the wiring, sockets, circuits, fuse box or consumer unit, and other parts of your electrical system. The inspection checks for:
- Overloaded circuits
- Signs of damage or deterioration
- Outdated consumer units
- Loose or dangerous connections
- Missing safety features, such as RCD protection
Your EICR electrical condition report is produced by our fully-qualified, NAPIT-registered and Which? Trusted Trader-approved electricians and highlights any faults, rating them according to the severity of the fault using C1/C2/C3 coding.
Urgent issues are rated as C1 or C2, and require immediate repair work to ensure your electrical installation is safe.
EICRs and electrical inspection and testing is essential for many people in Cardiff and South Wales, maintaining compliance with The Renting Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) (Wales) Regulations 2022 and including:
- Landlords – by law, landlords must provide tenants with a valid EICR every 5 years, or at the start of a new tenancy, to confirm that the property’s electrical installation is safe and complies with current safety and residential letting standards.
- Businesses & organisations – employers have a duty of care to provide a safe workplace. Regular electrical inspections and EICRs at least every 5 years help to reduce risk from electrical faults and demonstrate an organisation’s compliance with Welsh and UK safety standards.
- Homeowners – it’s recommended homeowners obtain an EICR every 10 years, or sooner if the property is older or has undergone significant electrical works. EICR electrical condition reports are useful for homebuyers and sellers, avoiding valuation negotiations regarding electrical installation and providing reassurance to buyers as to a property’s condition.
- Specific locations – some buildings, facilities and locations may require more frequent electrical condition inspections and testing, such as swimming pools and leisure facilities, public buildings, caravan parks or medical facilities. Get in touch with our team for advice and recommendations about when to carry out your electrical inspections.
