EICR in Hackney: the local picture
Electrical inspections in Stoke Newington conversions should start with identifying which consumer unit serves each flat and whether landlord supplies are separate. Altered kitchens, loft rooms and older wiring can make the installation less straightforward than the floor plan suggests. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates EICRs and records any remedial recommendations against the correct dwelling. For Homerton blocks, access to intake cupboards may need the managing agent's involvement. An inspection report describes the installation's condition; it does not replace permission to work on communal electrical equipment.
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.
