Yes, it is required by law to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for all rental properties in Scotland. As per the Scottish Housing Minister's announcement in 2019, all landlords must ensure that their rental properties are electrically safe and meet the new legal requirements set out in the Scottish Government's regulations. This includes the requirement for private landlords to have an EICR carried out by a qualified electrician every five years or earlier if the report states so. The EICR must be provided to tenants before they move into a new property, and to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in financial penalties, as well as potential legal action against the landlord. It is therefore essential for landlords to obtain a valid EICR for their rental properties in Scotland to ensure the safety and compliance of their electrical systems.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a report on the condition of an electrical installation and its suitability for continued use. The report is required to contain the date of the inspection and the name and address of the property being inspected. The report must also contain the outcomes of the inspection and any remedial work that might be needed.
