An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is required for all commercial premises — typically every 5 years, or more frequently for high-risk or older installations. Without a valid EICR, your electrical installation is legally unverified.
Landlords, insurers and commercial tenants increasingly require a valid EICR before a lease is signed or renewed. An expired certificate discovered at the wrong moment delays deals and creates liability.

An EICR is a formal document produced by a qualified electrician assessing the condition of a property's electrical installation. It is required for all commercial premises, rented residential properties and increasingly demanded by insurers and commercial tenants. The inspection interval depends on property type — but the tracking responsibility is always yours.
Standard commercial properties require an EICR every 5 years. High-risk environments, older installations or properties with significant electrical load may require more frequent inspection.
Since 2020, all private rented properties in England require an EICR every 5 years, with a copy provided to all tenants. Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.
An EICR can be rated Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. An Unsatisfactory rating requires remediation and re-inspection within 28 days — creating a separate tracking deadline.
Commercial insurers increasingly require a valid EICR as a condition of buildings and liability insurance. An expired EICR discovered during a claim may affect policy cover — at exactly the moment you need it most.
EICR expiry rarely causes an immediate visible problem — until it does. The discovery usually happens during a lease renewal, an insurance review, a sale or an incident. At that point, the conversation is harder than it needed to be.
Commercial landlords and tenants increasingly require a valid EICR before signing or renewing a lease. An expired certificate delays completion and creates negotiation leverage you do not want the other side to have.
Buildings and liability insurers may require a valid EICR. An expired certificate during a claim for electrical damage or fire may reduce or void the relevant cover.
For rental properties, failure to provide a valid EICR to tenants on request can result in fines from local authorities. For commercial premises, HSE inspection can require immediate remediation.
