Common Questions

All private rental properties in Newington EH8 must have a valid EICR every 5 years under Scottish regulations, or at the start of each new tenancy if sooner. Newington's high student population means frequent tenancy changes — we manage compliance schedules proactively.

Yes. Edinburgh City Council requires HMO properties in Newington to meet higher electrical safety standards as a condition of the HMO licence. Our HMO EICRs cover all shared circuits, individual rooms and common areas to the standard required for licence applications and renewals.

Common findings in Newington Georgian tenements include older consumer units without adequate RCD protection, deteriorated wiring from partial 1960s–70s rewires now reaching end of life, undersized circuits for modern electrical loads, and shared building supplies with unclear ownership.

A standard Newington 2-bedroom tenement flat typically takes 2–3 hours. HMO properties with more bedrooms take longer — typically 3–5 hours. We confirm timings at booking and work around your tenants.

Yes. We coordinate Newington EICR appointments around student move-out dates (May–June) and move-in dates (August–September). We offer flexible scheduling to minimise disruption during tenancy changeovers.

Yes. If your Newington EICR results in unsatisfactory observations, we provide a fixed-price quote for all remedial work. We aim to complete work quickly to avoid gaps in your HMO licence compliance and issue an updated satisfactory report.
