If you’re a landlord or property manager in Birmingham, an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is not optional—it’s a legal requirement. Ensuring your property is electrically safe protects tenants and keeps you compliant.
An EICR is a detailed report that checks the condition of your property’s electrical system. It must be carried out by a certified electrician every five years or when there’s a new tenancy.
The inspection covers:
Fuse boxes and circuits
Wiring condition
Earthing and bonding
Switches, sockets, and light fittings
Any visible defects or damage
Book a licensed electrician in Birmingham easily through Buildela to complete your EICR.

Once completed, the EICR will be marked:
Satisfactory – Everything meets current standards
