Landlords Electrical Works and Certification
Beasley & Harding Electrical are able to offer a number of efficient services that can suit your individual landlord needs.
Having worked with many landlords over the years we have the knowledge to advise on the necessary legal requirements. Compliance with the law when it comes to electrical safety is something that you cannot afford to overlook.
Your responsibilities as a landlord
Landlords are required by law to ensure:
- That the electrical installation in a rented property is safe when tenants move in and maintained in a safe condition throughout its duration.
- That a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) has a periodic inspection carried out on the property every five years.
If your property is not an HMO, you are not legally obliged to do this. However, we recommend that a periodic inspection and test is carried out by a registered electrician on your rental properties at least every five years. - That any appliance provided is safe and has at least the CE marking (which is the manufacturer’s claim that it meets all the requirements of European law).
