Book Your Littlehampton EICRAn Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal requirement for all rental properties in the United Kingdom. Valid for up to 5 years, this essential document verifies that your electrical installations are safe for continued use across Littlehampton, Rustington, and the wider Arun District.
Private landlords in the Arun District must ensure that electrical installations are inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years. A satisfactory report is required to comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. We specialise in helping landlords in BN16 and BN17 stay compliant with minimal disruption.
Many building insurance providers now require a valid EICR as a condition of cover. Without one, claims relating to electrical issues in your Littlehampton property may be rejected.
Arun District Council has the power to issue civil penalties of up to £30,000 for landlords who fail to provide a valid EICR when requested by the local authority.
Beyond legal compliance, an EICR identifies hidden dangers such as overloaded circuits, lack of earthing, or fire risks within the consumer unit. Our engineers provide a clear, jargon-free summary of any remedial works required to bring your property up to current British Standards (BS 7671).

When engineers inspect your property, they categorise findings into specific codes. Understanding these is essential for maintaining your legal "Satisfactory" status.
C1 codes indicate immediate danger, while C2 codes signify urgent potential danger. Either of these results in an 'Unsatisfactory' report, meaning remedial work must be completed within 28 days.
A C3 code identifies a non-compliance with the latest wiring regulations that isn't currently dangerous. A property can still receive a 'Satisfactory' overall rating even if C3 codes are present.
Regulatory Note: Under the 2020 Regulations, landlords must provide a copy of the EICR to their tenants within 28 days of the inspection or risk significant local authority fines.
