An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and inspection is carried out by a qualified electrician to determine the condition of an electrical installation (the fixed wiring as opposed to any appliances) and is recommended to be carried out at regular intervals.

When Buying or Selling a Property
Buying a property is one of the most important purchases of your life, so it’s important that your new home is electrically safe and you know what expenditure, if any, you may need to make on your new home.
If you are considering the sale of your property, a new electrical Periodic Inspection Report added to your seller’s pack can put a potential buyer’s mind at ease.
A property survey does not inform the buyer of the condition of the electrical wiring, hence an EICR report will provide peace of mind and reveal any possible dangers.
Contact us to arrange for an electrical Inspection & Test on the property to provide an accurate assessment of the condition of the fixed wiring.
