EICR in Croydon: the local picture
Electrical inspection in Thornton Heath terraces and Addiscombe conversions should account for circuits altered during subdivision or later extensions. In Croydon town-centre apartments, establish which consumer unit serves the dwelling and whether shared areas fall under a separate manager. Peachtree Maintenance can organise access for an appropriately qualified inspector and retain the EICR digitally. Reported defects should be linked to any subsequent remedial instruction and completion evidence. New sockets or a recently fitted kitchen do not establish the condition of concealed wiring elsewhere in the property.
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.
