EICR Tracker for Landlords
Free, no email needed. Last verified 31 October 2026
In England, a private landlord must have the electrical installation in each rented home inspected and tested at least every 5 years, and must keep the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This CSV tracks one row per property, so the next inspection and any remedial work deadline are always visible.
The rules below follow the GOV.UK guidance for England. Wales and Scotland have their own rules, so check gov.wales and mygov.scot if your property is there.
When to use it
- You need to see which properties are due an inspection in the next year.
- An EICR found a C1, C2 or FI code and you must track the work to its deadline.
- You want a record of when each tenant, and the council if it asked, received the report.
- You are buying or taking over a property and want to log its existing report.
How to use it
- Download the CSV and open it in a spreadsheet app. Delete the two example rows.
- Add a row after each inspection. Enter the inspection date as YYYY-MM-DD and the result stated in the report.
- List every code the inspector recorded. C1 is danger present, C2 is potentially dangerous, FI needs further investigation, and C3 is an improvement recommendation.
- If the report needs remedial or further investigative work, enter a deadline of 28 days from the inspection, or sooner if the report says so.
- When the work is done, enter the date you sent the tenant and the council the report with written confirmation from the person who did the work. That is due within 28 days of the work.
- Enter the date the tenant received the report. An existing tenant gets a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and a new tenant before they move in.
- Set the next inspection date from the report, never more than 5 years after the last one.

Questions
How often does a rented home need an EICR?
In England the installation must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years. The report gives a date for the next test, and you must meet the standard in BS 7671.
Who must receive a copy of the report?
An existing tenant gets a copy within 28 days of the test, and a new tenant before they move in. A prospective tenant can ask for a copy and must receive it within 28 days. The council can ask for a copy and must receive it within 7 days.
What happens if the report finds a C1, C2 or FI?
You must complete the remedial or further investigative work within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so. Within 28 days of the work, give the tenant and the council the report and written confirmation that the work is done. A C3 is a recommendation and does not on its own make a report unsatisfactory.
