Landlord EICR Certificates in Newcastle
Newcastle has one of the largest student rental markets in the North East, and Jesmond is at the heart of it: tree-lined Victorian terraces where roughly four in ten residents are students, many converted into HMOs with wiring that has been added to over decades. A short walk away in Heaton the terraces around Chillingham Road carry a similar mix of shared lets, while Sandyford's converted townhouses and flats bring their own older circuits. An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a full inspection and test of the fixed wiring, consumer unit and sockets in a property, and it tells you clearly whether the installation is safe for tenants to use.
As a NAPIT registered, City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked firm with 14 years' experience, we are used to arranging access across busy HMOs and multi-let houses without disrupting your tenants. We test the whole installation to the 18th Edition wiring regulations and grade every observation by how urgent it is, so you and your letting agent know exactly where you stand. A free fixed written quote settles the price before we start, one figure agreed up front, and we protect floors and leave every property clean regardless of how many rooms we are working through. Landlords across Jesmond, Heaton and Sandyford trust us to keep their certificates current.

Your questions, answered
Do HMOs in Jesmond need more frequent EICRs?
All private rentals need a satisfactory EICR at least every five years and at each change of tenancy, though larger HMOs are often inspected more often as part of licensing conditions. We can advise on what applies to your specific let.
How much does a landlord EICR cost in Newcastle?
Costs broadly range from around £150 for a smaller flat to £300 or more for a larger HMO with several circuits. We confirm one fixed written price before any work starts, so you know the exact figure in advance.
Can you work around students living in the property?
Yes, we regularly test occupied HMOs across Jesmond, Heaton and Sandyford and plan visits around your tenants' timetables where we can, working room by room with minimal disruption.
