Does licensing in Hammersmith and Fulham affect eicr?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Hammersmith and Fulham as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Hammersmith and Fulham 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 Hammersmith and Fulham: the local picture

Electrical installations around West Kensington range from older conversion wiring to later consumer unit replacements. An EICR should assess the installation within the agreed scope, rather than assume that a recently refurbished kitchen proves the whole flat is satisfactory. Arrange access to the consumer unit and sockets, and warn tenants about testing interruptions. For White City apartments, clarify the boundary with landlord supplies and communal equipment. Peachtree Maintenance can retain the report and identify recommended remedial instructions against the individual flat's record.

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.
