February is often a month for planning and ensuring everything is in order, especially for landlords in Farnborough. With legal responsibilities constantly evolving, staying compliant with electrical safety regulations isn't just good practice – it's mandatory.  At Flodman Electrical, your trusted local Farnborough electricians, we're here to guide you through the essentials of landlord electrical safety certificates and how we can help keep your tenants safe and your property compliant.

What is a Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate (EICR)?
Since April 1st, 2021, it has been a legal requirement for landlords in England to ensure that electrical installations in their rented properties are inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years.
This inspection results in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), often referred to as a "landlord electrical safety certificate."
