FAQs

Common Questions

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

Yes. All private rental properties in New Town must have a valid EICR at intervals of no more than 5 years under Scottish regulations. With New Town's high density of rental flats and HMOs, up-to-date EICR certification is essential for Edinburgh City Council compliance.

Yes. Many New Town properties are Category A or B listed. Accessing wiring in original cornicing, avoiding damage to period plasterwork and documenting observations without unnecessary invasive work all require experience. Our inspectors work sensitively in listed New Town properties as standard.

A typical New Town 2–3 bedroom flat takes 2–4 hours. Larger Georgian townhouses, HMOs or properties with complex conversions may take longer. We'll confirm a time estimate at booking based on your specific property.

In New Town we frequently encounter older wiring installations — sometimes 1960s or 1970s era rewires — alongside undersized consumer units and missing RCD protection. Shared building supplies in converted townhouses also require careful documentation to identify responsibility.

Not a legal requirement, but New Town buyers often request them given the age of the property stock. A satisfactory EICR on a Georgian flat gives buyers confidence and prevents delays while their solicitor requests further surveys. We can turn reports around quickly.

Yes. We carry out remedial electrical work in New Town listed properties sympathetically, minimising disruption to period features and advising on the best approaches to achieve compliance without unnecessary alteration. We can advise when listed building consent may be required.

Yes. We cover all New Town postcodes including EH1, EH2, EH3 and EH4, as well as adjacent areas like Stockbridge and the West End. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific street.
