We are proud to be apart of the Contractor Quality Scheme
you can apply for up to £10,000 for a low income household or up to £5,000 for landlords or homeowners. The scheme has been developed to ensure high quality, low carbon energy installations in Jersey.
Rented Dwellings License
In addition is the Rented Dwellings License which is a legal requirement needed for landlords which includes an Electrical Installation Condition Report.
Electrical Safety
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) must be undertaken by a competent engineer. These inspections are valid for 5 years.
Competent engineers are those that are registered with:
- National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers (NAPIT)
- The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC)
- Building Research establishment (BRE)
All rented properties are required to have an EICR. If yours has not been completed, or the property is new to the rental market, you should organise for an EICR as soon as reasonably practicable.
A copy of your EICR must be provided to your tenant within 28 days or, if it’s a new tenant, at the start of their occupation.
Once you have your EICR, you do not need to complete a new EICR each change of tenancy, however, it is advisable to complete an interim checklist every year or when the tenancy changes.
