Our guide to electrical hazards: Safeguard your property and tenants
As a landlord, making sure that your rental property is safe for tenants while complying with legal requirements should always be a top priority. One of the most critical aspects of property safety is electrical installations. Failing to meet electrical safety standards, particularly in relation to an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), can lead to fines of up to £30,000.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the importance of protecting your property from electrical hazards. We’ll explain what an electrical safety inspection involves, why you need to complete an EICR, and how to reduce the risks of electrical hazards to help you maximise the safety of your tenants and minimise your insurance risks.
