Electric Certificate (NIC)

With rented residential accommodation,it is the Landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the electrical installation and appliances are safe when the tenancy begins under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). The Institute of Electrical Engineers also recommends for residential accommodation that an inspection/test is carried out on a change of occupancy and an electrical certificate is produced.

Furthermore, if the property is a HMO then the Management Regulations bring an obligation to have fixed electrical installations inspected and tested at intervals not exceeding 5 years.

At GreenPine Property we provide an expert NICEIC electrical safety inspection and certification service to many landlords and managing agents throughout the UK, supplying detailed reports and recommendations as needed and ensuring that properties meet the relevant safety requirements needed to issue an electrical safety certificate.
