Liverpool has one of the biggest private rented sectors in the country and a rented home in England needs a satisfactory EICR at least every five years. That makes this the report we do most in the city, for landlords with one flat and for agents running whole streets of them. The stock is what makes it interesting: Victorian terraces in Walton, Anfield and Old Swan, Georgian houses around Falkner Square, dock conversions near the waterfront and the big houses out at Aigburth and Woolton.
An EICR is a full inspection and test of the fixed wiring, the board, the circuits and the earthing. We test with calibrated instruments and code every observation by urgency, so you can see what is genuinely unsafe and what is simply worth noting. You get the formal report plus a plain English summary and anything that fails is priced as one clear fixed job.

Your questions, answered
How much does an EICR cost in Liverpool?
Most UK homes fall between about £150 and £300, set by the number of circuits rather than the address. A one-bed flat sits at the lower end, a large shared house with many circuits higher. Landlords with several properties get a rate agreed up front.
How often does a rented property need one?
At least every five years or at a change of tenancy. It is a legal duty for rented homes in England and the report has to be satisfactory, not simply carried out.
Can you test an HMO?
Yes. Shared houses have more circuits and more shared areas, so they take longer and are priced on what is actually there. Tell us the number of bedrooms and floors and we will quote it properly.
What if the report is unsatisfactory?
You get the coded observations, a plain English explanation and a fixed price to put them right. Once the work is done we re-test and issue a satisfactory report.
