Landlord EICR Testing in Northampton
Northampton has one of the larger private rented sectors in the region, with a lot of it in the Victorian terraces around Far Cotton, Abington and Kingsthorpe. Parts of the town also fall under additional HMO licensing, and an electrical installation that is safe and in proper working order is a condition of that licence. The report behind it has to hold up.
John tests rentals and shared houses across the town. Every circuit is inspected and tested, every finding is coded C1, C2 or C3 and the report is written so a letting agent or a licensing officer can read it without a translation. If something fails, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price to put it right, then a re-test and the satisfactory report you need.

A report that meets the five-yearly duty and supports an HMO licence application.

Remedials priced fixed
Anything coded C1 or C2 gets a fixed price, a fix and a re-test.
Your questions, answered
Does my Northampton rental need an EICR?
If it is privately rented in England, yes. The fixed wiring must be inspected at least every five years and your tenants get a copy of the report. HMOs are held to it more strictly again.
Do I need a different report for an HMO?
It is the same inspection standard, but a shared house is worked harder and tends to throw up more findings. John writes the report so it suits a licence application, and he can carry out and certify any remedial work.
How quickly can you get the report to me?
Landlords often need the paperwork before a tenancy starts, so John books the test in promptly and gets the report out without hanging about. Give him a ring and he will tell you straight when he can be there.
