ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CONDITION REPORT (EICR) Sample Clauses
The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) clause requires that the electrical systems within a property are inspected and tested to ensure they are safe and compliant with current regulations. Typically, this involves a qualified electrician conducting a thorough assessment of wiring, sockets, and other electrical components, with a formal report provided to confirm the installation's condition. The core function of this clause is to protect occupants and property owners by identifying potential electrical hazards and ensuring remedial action is taken where necessary, thereby reducing the risk of electrical accidents or non-compliance with legal standards.

From 1st July 2020 it will be a legal requirement to hold an Electrical Installation Condition Report. Any tenancy created or renewed after this date must have a valid certificate issued by a qualified person, for pre existing tenancies you will need to have an EICR performed on all existing tenancies before 1st April 2011. It should be noted that by Law it is the Landlord’s responsibility to insure there is a valid EICR in place. Whilst Streets Estates Ltd will take all reasonable steps (and arrange at the Landlords expense) to ensure there is a valid EICR in place at all times while the property is let. However, the Landlord agrees by signing this agreement that Streets Estates Ltd will not be held legally liable in any way ,should there be no EICR in place for whatever reason.

A Landlord requires to have an EICR prepared for the Property at intervals of not more than 5 years and records kept for not less than 6 years. An EICR must also include a Portable Appliance Test (▇▇▇) for any appliances supplied by the Landlord. A ▇▇▇ will likely be required to be carried out more frequently than every 5 years.

A further fee will be payable to the Agents in the event that they are instructed to do so. This fee will cover the sourcing an appropriate engineer as well as liaising with tenants to arrange access. If instructed to do so by the Landlord, such costs are applicable, and fees will be deducted from the Landlord’s account, but the Agents reserves the right not to instruct an EICR and/or a ▇▇▇ until sufficient funds are received from the Landlord.
