EICR Requirements for Landlords in Soho

Since the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 came into force, landlords have been legally required to ensure the electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years. Copies of the report must be provided to tenants on request and to the local authority within 7 days.

An unsatisfactory EICR — one containing C1 or C2 observations — requires the landlord to arrange and complete remedial works within 28 days where specified. Where an immediate danger (C1) is present, action is required without delay. Written evidence of completion must be provided to tenants.

EICR Pro supports landlords across City of Westminster with the full process: inspection, clear reporting, and remedial work quotation where needed.

Landlord Checklist
  • EICR required at least every five years
  • New tenants receive copy before occupation
  • Existing tenants receive copy when requested
  • Copy to Westminster Council within 7 days on request
  • Unsatisfactory report: remedials within 28 days where required

Local Property Insight

Common EICR Issues in Soho Properties

The property mix in Soho — including above-shop flats, commercial premises, managed blocks, HMOs — means inspectors commonly encounter a varied range of observations. The following are issues frequently identified during EICR inspections in the area.

Above-shop flat wiring
Above-shop residential properties can have older installations that have not been regularly maintained. The separation between the domestic and commercial supply should also be clearly identifiable, and EICR Pro can flag any concerns during inspection.
Commercial circuit documentation and labelling
Incomplete or inaccurate circuit labelling is a common practical issue, particularly in older properties or those subject to additions and alterations over the years. Missing labelling can generate a C3 recommendation on the report.
HMO circuit overloading
HMO properties often have complex installation histories, with additions and alterations made by different tradespeople over time. Circuit separation, RCD coverage, and smoke alarm integration are areas that commonly generate observations.
Old consumer units
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.

EICR Services Across Soho

🏪
Above-Shop Flats and Mixed-Use Properties
Above-shop flats and mixed-use properties are found throughout Soho. A standard EICR covers the residential installation — where a commercial EICR is also required for ground-floor premises, EICR Pro can discuss the combined scope and arrange both inspections where practical.
🏭
Commercial EICR Testing in Soho
Commercial property owners and occupiers in Soho may require periodic electrical inspection and testing for offices, retail units, and other commercial premises. EICR Pro can carry out commercial electrical testing and provide clear reports satisfying landlord, insurer, or tenant compliance requirements.
🏠
HMO Electrical Testing in Soho
HMOs in Soho may be subject to additional requirements beyond a standard EICR. Local authority and HMO licensing requirements from Westminster Council may include fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and smoke detector provision — which can sit outside the scope of a standard EICR. We recommend confirming specific requirements with your licensing authority.
After a Failed EICR

Remedial Works in Soho

If an EICR in Soho 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 Soho, 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 Soho 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.
