Frequently Asked Questions (North East UK)

What are my legal electrical responsibilities as a Landlord in Newcastle? As a landlord in the North East, you are legally required to ensure that all electrical installations in your rental property are safe when tenants move in and are maintained in a safe condition throughout the duration of the tenancy. This includes obtaining a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. Switch Electrical & Mechanical Services provides comprehensive EICR audits for landlords across Newcastle, Sunderland, and Gateshead.

How much does an EICR cost for a standard property in the North East? The cost of an EICR depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits. Switch Electrical & Mechanical Services provides highly competitive, transparent pricing for landlords in the North East. We also offer discounted rates for landlords with multiple properties or HMOs requiring block certification.

What happens if my rental property fails an EICR? If an EICR identifies 'C1' (Danger Present) or 'C2' (Potentially Dangerous) codes, the installation is deemed 'Unsatisfactory'. Landlords have exactly 28 days to complete the necessary remedial work. Our team at Switch Electrical & Mechanical Services can provide immediate, fixed-price quotes for all remedial work following an inspection to ensure you remain legally compliant.
