EICR Requirements for Landlords in Finchley

The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to ensure the electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years.

Local Property Insight

Common EICR Issues in Finchley Properties

The property mix in Finchley — including Edwardian and inter-war houses, private rental homes, converted flats — means inspectors commonly encounter a varied range of observations. The following are issues frequently identified during EICR inspections in the area.

Old split-load boards
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.
Lack of RCD
Older consumer units without full RCD or RCBO protection are found in properties that have not been updated for many years. This does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous, but can result in a C2 classification depending on the inspection findings.
1930s wiring alterations
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.
Bathroom bonding issues
Earthing and supplementary bonding in older properties can be incomplete or non-compliant with current standards — particularly in bathrooms and kitchens of period conversions where work has been carried out by different tradespeople over many years.

Local Expertise

EICR Services Across Finchley

🏛️
Period Properties and Older Housing Stock
Finchley has a notable stock of period properties, many converted into flats or let as whole houses. Older installations can accumulate alterations over time, and an EICR will document the current condition clearly so landlords understand exactly what is present and what — if anything — is required.
🔌
Domestic EICRs for Older Rental Properties
A significant proportion of rental properties in Finchley were built before current wiring regulations came into force. Older installations can accumulate alterations and additions over time. EICR Pro carries out thorough domestic inspections that document the installation's condition clearly without unnecessary jargon.
Consumer Unit and RCD Upgrades
Many rental properties in Finchley still contain older consumer units, including split-load boards with partial RCD protection or older rewireable fuse boards. A consumer unit upgrade to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO board can resolve multiple EICR observations in a single job.
After a Failed EICR

Remedial Works in Finchley

If an EICR in Finchley is issued as unsatisfactory, the landlord must arrange remedial works within 28 days where required — or sooner if a C1 immediate danger is identified on the report.

EICR Pro can provide a separate quotation for remedial works following an unsatisfactory inspection. On completion, we issue written confirmation of remediation — giving you the complete compliance paper trail in one place.

For tenanted properties in Finchley, we understand the practicalities of arranging access and scheduling works around tenant occupation. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible for both landlord and tenant.

RCD Protection & Consumer Units

One of the most common reasons for an unsatisfactory EICR in Finchley is the lack of adequate RCD or RCBO protection. An older consumer unit without full RCD coverage does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous — but depending on the overall inspection findings it may result in a C2 classification.

Upgrading to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO consumer unit can resolve multiple observations in a single job. EICR Pro can provide a clear quotation for consumer unit upgrades where inspection findings indicate this is the appropriate course of action.
