Change of tenant or long-vacant property: A common trigger for an updated inspection to confirm condition after occupancy changes.
After major electrical work: Needed after consumer unit upgrades, rewiring, or new circuit installations to sign off the work formally.
Property sale or purchase: Often requested by buyers, surveyors, or solicitors when electrical history is unclear, or the property is older.
Mortgage or insurance requirements: Some lenders and insurers request an up-to-date EICR before approval or policy continuation.
Older electrical systems: Recommended where wiring, fuse boards, or installations have not been inspected for several years.
