Is there a penalty for not having a current EICR?

Is there a penalty for not having a current EICR?

Yes there is.  From April 1st 2021 not having a current and valid EICR would mean you are in breach of the ‘Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020’ and would leave you exposed to a fine of up to £30,000 issued by the local authority.  This includes failure to carry out repairs or remedial work identified and required to be fixed by the EICR Inspection.
