Our team at P Cookson Maintenance are fully behind the new regulations. They will maximise tenant safety and provide peace of mind to landlords. P Cookson Maintenance inspect and test fixed electrical installations to verify that they are in proper condition and comply with industry regulations for protection against electrical shock, burns, fires & explosions caused by electricity.
From 1st July, landlords who fail to complete an EICR (and any work it recommends) before a new tenancy commences will face a fine of up to £30,000. Local authorities will be responsible for enforcing the new rules, as specified under the Housing Act 2004.
Local authorities can also arrange remedial action if repairs and improvements recommended in the reports are not made. After receiving a notice of remedial action, landlords will have 28 days to have the work undertaken, unless it is an urgent notice. A shorter timeframe may be given in this case.
