FAQs

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

All private rental properties in Leith must have a valid EICR carried out at intervals of no more than 5 years under Scottish regulations, or at the start of each new tenancy if sooner. A copy must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.

Yes. HMO properties in Leith require an EICR as part of their HMO licence conditions. We carry out HMO-specific inspections covering all shared circuits, common areas and individual rooms, and produce documentation in the format required by Edinburgh City Council.

A standard 2-bedroom Leith tenement flat typically takes 2–3 hours for a full EICR. Properties with older wiring, multiple submeters or extended common circuits may take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

In older Leith tenements we frequently find older rubber or lead-sheathed wiring, undersized consumer units, missing RCD protection and inadequate earthing. These typically result in C2 or C3 observations. We explain every finding and can carry out all remedial work in Leith.

You are not legally required to provide an EICR on sale, but Leith buyers and their solicitors increasingly request one. A current satisfactory EICR can speed up your sale and avoid costly buyer-commissioned surveys stalling the process.

We offer fixed-price EICRs in Leith based on the number of circuits and property size. Contact us for a quote — we offer competitive rates and discounts for Leith landlords with multiple properties. There are no hidden call-out or admin fees.

For straightforward remedial items we can often complete the work on the same visit and retest immediately. For more complex remedials we'll give you a fixed quote and book a return visit, aiming to complete as quickly as possible to minimise your void period.
