What Is a Domestic EICR?
A Domestic EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed inspection of the fixed electrical system in a residential property.
It checks: Consumer unit (fuse board), Circuits, Fixed wiring, Sockets and switches, Earthing and bonding, RCD protection, Electrical safety compliance
The inspection does not test portable appliances. It focuses only on the permanent installation.
After testing, the report will state whether the installation is:
- Satisfactory – Safe for continued use
- Unsatisfactory – Remedial work required
Any issues are clearly categorised and explained in plain language.
Who Needs a Domestic EICR in London?
A Domestic EICR is required or recommended for:
Landlords
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must ensure the electrical installation is inspected at least every five years.
A copy of the report must be:
- Given to existing tenants within 28 days
- Provided to new tenants before occupation
- Supplied to the local authority if requested
Homeowners
While not legally mandatory for owner-occupied homes, regular inspection is strongly recommended, especially if:
- The property is over 10 years old
- You are buying or selling
- Renovation work has been carried out
- You experience tripping circuits or flickering lights
Letting Agents & Property Managers
If you manage residential properties, an up-to-date EICR protects both the landlord and the managing agent from compliance risk.
Standards and Regulations We Follow
Every Domestic EICR by Liviosiv is carried out in accordance with:
BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations)
This is the national standard for electrical installations in the UK. It sets requirements for safety, testing, inspection, and documentation.
Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020
These regulations make periodic inspection a legal requirement for rented residential properties in England.
Our reports are structured clearly and professionally, ensuring they meet compliance expectations for: Councils, Letting agents, Insurers, Mortgage lenders
What We Check During Your Domestic EICR
Our inspection follows a systematic and thorough approach.
We begin with a detailed visual assessment of the installation. This helps identify signs of damage, overheating, ageing components, or unsafe alterations.
We then test the consumer unit to confirm:
- Protective devices are correctly rated
- RCDs operate within required safety times
- Labelling is accurate
- Fault protection is adequate
Earthing and bonding arrangements are verified carefully, as these protect against electric shock.
Each circuit is tested individually to confirm:
- Insulation resistance levels are safe
- Polarity is correct
- Fault loop impedance is within permitted limits
- Protective devices disconnect properly
Our goal is not just to complete a checklist. It is to ensure your property’s electrical system is genuinely safe.
Understanding EICR Observation Codes
If issues are found, they are categorised using standard codes:
Code | Meaning | Action Required |
C1 | Danger present | Immediate action required |
C2 | Potentially dangerous | Urgent remedial work needed |
C3 | Improvement recommended | Upgrade advised |
FI | Further investigation required | Additional testing required |
C1, C2, or FI observations result in an Unsatisfactory report.
C3 observations do not cause failure but highlight recommended improvements.
We explain every finding clearly so you understand exactly what action is required.
What Happens If Your Report Is Unsatisfactory?
An Unsatisfactory result does not automatically mean a full rewire is required.
In many cases, issues can be resolved with targeted remedial work such as:
- Replacing faulty protective devices
- Upgrading consumer units
- Correcting wiring defects
- Improving earthing arrangements
Liviosiv provides clear, itemised quotations for any recommended work. Once completed, written confirmation is issued for compliance records.
This protects landlords and gives peace of mind to homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does a Domestic EICR inspection take?
Most Domestic EICR inspections take between 1 to 3 hours. The time depends on the size of the property and the number of electrical circuits.
Do I need to be at home during a Residential EICR?
Yes, someone should be present to allow access to sockets, the consumer unit, and all rooms. This helps the inspection run smoothly.
Will furniture or appliances need to be moved?
Usually no. However, clear access to sockets and the consumer unit is required. Large furniture blocking access may need to be moved slightly.
Can a Domestic EICR be done in a furnished property?
Yes. Domestic and Residential EICRs can be carried out in furnished homes, rental properties, and occupied houses.
Is a Domestic EICR required for a new build property?
New build homes normally come with electrical certificates. However, a Domestic EICR may still be requested later for insurance, resale, or peace of mind.
Do I need a new EICR when a tenant changes?
If the existing Residential EICR is still valid, a new one is not required. However, landlords often choose to renew it for added safety.
Are EICR reports accepted by councils and insurers?
Yes. A valid Domestic or Residential EICR issued by a qualified electrician is accepted by councils, letting agents, and insurance providers.
Can I fail an EICR because of old wiring?
Old wiring does not always mean failure. It only fails if it is unsafe or does not meet minimum safety standard
Is PAT testing included in a Domestic EICR?
No. PAT testing is separate and applies to portable appliances. A Domestic EICR only covers fixed electrical installations.
Can Liviosiv carry out remedial work after a failed EICR?
Yes. If issues are found, Liviosiv can arrange remedial electrical works and then issue an updated Satisfactory Domestic EICR certificate.
