Need a PRS EICR for your own property? It's issued by the tradesperson who does the work — TradePlanr is the app they use.

Since the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have the fixed electrical installation in a rented property inspected and tested at least every five years, and give the report to their tenants. The report is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to BS 7671, presented for the landlord's duties.

TradePlanr gives you a PRS-focused EICR that captures the property and tenancy details, records your observations with C1, C2, C3 and FI classifications in an unbounded schedule, and states the landlord's duties on the face of the document — the 28-day remedial deadline, the copy to the tenant, and the copy to the local housing authority on request.

You complete it on site, sign on screen, and send a branded PDF the landlord can act on and file to demonstrate compliance.

What it covers

  • Landlord / agent and tenant details, and the type and occupancy of the property
  • Extent of the installation inspected and any agreed limitations
  • Overall assessment: satisfactory or unsatisfactory
  • Counts of C1, C2, C3 and FI observations

When it's required

A landlord of a rented home in England must have an EICR carried out at least every five years, and on a new tenancy where the existing report has expired.

Where the report is unsatisfactory (any C1, C2 or FI), the landlord must complete remedial work within 28 days (or sooner if specified) and obtain written confirmation.

A copy must be supplied to existing tenants within 28 days, to new tenants before they occupy, and to the local housing authority within seven days of a request.

Frequently asked questions

How is a PRS EICR different from a normal EICR?

It is the same BS 7671 inspection and test, presented for the landlord's legal duties under the Electrical Safety Standards (PRS) (England) Regulations 2020 — the 28-day remedial deadline, the copy to the tenant and the copy to the local authority on request are stated on the report.

How often does a rented property need an EICR?

At least every five years, and at the start of a new tenancy if the existing report has expired. The report must be given to the tenant.

What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?

Any C1, C2 or FI makes it unsatisfactory. The landlord must complete the remedial work within 28 days (or sooner if stated) and get written confirmation it has been done.
