Does licensing in Bromley affect eicr?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Bromley as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Bromley Council before letting. Licence conditions commonly require current safety certificates to be available on request, which is why we keep every document digitally against the property.

Does an EICR always last five years?

No. Five years is the maximum normal interval under these regulations, not a guaranteed period for every installation. The inspector may specify a shorter interval because of the condition or use of the installation. Follow the report and investigate significant changes or damage rather than waiting for renewal.

Does a change of tenant mean I need a new EICR?

Not automatically, if the existing report remains valid and applicable and required remedial actions have been completed. Give the new tenant the report before occupation. Check for damage or alterations between tenancies and arrange professional advice if the installation's condition may have changed.

EICR in Bromley | Peachtree Maintenance

EICR in Bromley: the local picture

An EICR for a Petts Wood or Hayes house should consider the installation as it exists after extensions and loft conversions, not merely the age of the original building. In Penge converted flats, identify the correct supply and whether communal circuits have a separate owner. Peachtree Maintenance can arrange inspection access and retain the report digitally for the landlord or agent. Any remedial instruction should refer to the reported findings, and later completion records should remain linked to the original report for a clear audit trail.

What the rules say

The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner if the report says so.

A copy goes to tenants within 28 days, and to the council within 7 days if it asks. Where the report shows remedial work is required (codes C1, C2 or FI), that work should be completed within 28 days or the shorter time stated, with written confirmation kept.
