## Key points

- Electrical checks can improve safety and reassure buyers and tenants.
- Landlords in England need an EICR every five years.
- A current report may support insurance and property marketing.

## Summary

The article argues that regular electrical safety checks can protect occupants and make a property more attractive to buyers and tenants. Up-to-date inspections may also help owners demonstrate responsible management and reduce risks that could affect a property’s value.

In the UK, checks are typically recorded in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Since July 2020, landlords in England have been required to obtain an EICR every five years; the article says a valid report can support sales and rental marketing, help with insurance requirements, and reduce the risk of hazards and liability.
