The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 came into force on 1 June 2020 and apply to all tenancies created on or after that date in England from 1 July 2020.

These new regulations require landlords to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected at least every 5 years and tested by a person who is qualified and competent. Landlords will also have to provide a copy of the electrical safety report to their tenants as well as to the local authority if requested.

What the regulations say:

Private landlords must ensure every electrical installation in their residential premises is inspected and tested at intervals of no more than 5 years by a qualified and competent person.

The regulations apply in England to all new specified tenancies from 1 July 2020 and all existing specified tenancies from 1 April 2021.

Following the inspection and testing, a private landlord must:

• obtain a report from the person conducting that inspection and test, which gives the results of the inspection and test and the date of the next inspection and test
• supply a copy of that report to each existing tenant of the residential premises within 28 days of the inspection and test
• supply a copy of that report to the local housing authority within 7 days of receiving a request in writing for it from that authority
• retain a copy of that report until the next inspection and test is due and supply a copy to the person carrying out the next inspection and test
• supply a copy of the most recent report to any new tenant of the specified tenancy to which the report relates before that tenant occupies those premises; and any prospective tenant within 28 days of receiving a request in writing for it from that prospective tenant

Enforcement

Local authorities will be responsible for enforcing the new regulations and can impose a financial penalty of up to £30,000 if they find a landlord is in breach of their duty.

Local authorities have the power to serve remedial notices on the private landlord. If the remedial notice is ignored and action is not taken with 28 days, the local authority can arrange remedial work to be carried out, with consent from the tenant, and recover the costs from the landlord.

Total Fire & Electrical Solutions Ltd is fully certified and accredited and can carry out a full inspection and test to your rented property and then provide you with all required certification. 

Prices start at just £150 for a 1 bedroom or studio property.
