How East Midlands Landlords Achieve Compliance

Properties throughout the East Midlands M1 corridor are noted for their rentability. Located within easy reach of major cities and key manufacturing, engineering, and distribution brands, a high level of renters look for properties throughout the region. Renting out your property does require compliance with several safety regulations, though. As well as producing a Gas Safety Certificate, and an Energy Performance Certificate, all rental properties are legally required to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Failure to produce an EICR report, not only presents potential safety problems but will also invalidate the insurance of your property.

Definitive Electrical Solutions is an NICEIC Domestic Installer, and an NICEIC-Approved Contractor, meaning that you’ll be guaranteeing the compliance of your property, as well as the reliability of the electrics for the safety of all who live in and use your property.

An Electrical Installation Certificate provides you with evidence that the newly installed, altered, or added-to electrics are safe to use at the time they were put into service. This applies where one or more existing circuits have been modified, or extended, or items such as the consumer unit and switching equipment have been replaced. The certificates provide the basis for any future inspection and testing, and in the event of any claim that injury or fire was caused by an electrical installation, the certificate acts as evidence to show that it was installed to a satisfactory standard of safety. 

As well as compliance with EICR standards, Definitive Electrical Solutions is the first “port of call” for an increasing number of letting agents and landlords across the East Midlands region when remedial and fault-finding work is required.  Definitive Electrical Solutions comprises a team of highly skilled and trained electrical staff, dedicated to customer satisfaction.
