If your property is a new build, or has been completely rewired in the last 5 years, an EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate) will suffice. An EIC can also be used alongside an unsatisfactory EICR whereby any suggested remedial works noted on the EICR have been rectified in the EIC. In all other circumstances, an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) must be provided. These are valid for 5 years and must be shared with tenants.
