There are a number of legal regulations landlords must abide by to make sure electrical installations are safe.
For example, landlords must ensure an EICR is conducted on the property every 5 years, an EICR can only be conducted by a qualified electrician. Any faults identified in the report will need to be rectified within 28 days of the EICR.

In the UK, landlords must follow guidance provided in Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

If your rental property in Bristol is multi storey, you may also need to consider emergency lighting or act quickly to make sure emergency lighting is free of faults and functioning correctly.

Failure to comply with your legal obligation as a landlord in Bristol will not only put the lives of your tenant at risk but can lead to other consequences such as hefty fines and null and void building insurance policies.
