Optima Electrical carries out landlord EICR inspections across Leeds. We test, certify, and — if needed — carry out remedial work on the same visit. NICEIC-approved, certificates issued the same day.
If you rent out residential property in England, you are legally required to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report. No exceptions.
A landlord electrical certificate is an EICR — an Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is a detailed inspection of the fixed electrical installation in your rental property, covering the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, light fittings, and all permanent electrical connections.
The inspection checks whether your property’s electrics are safe and meet current standards. You receive a formal certificate that confirms the outcome — satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
We carry out landlord EICRs across all areas of Leeds, from the student rental areas of Headingley, Hyde Park, and Burley through to Roundhay, Moortown, Garforth, and Morley. We also work with letting agents managing portfolios across the city.
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require all private landlords to have an EICR carried out by a qualified electrician at least every five years.
Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000. Leeds City Council enforces these regulations.
For HMO properties, electrical safety requirements may be more stringent. HMO licensing conditions in Leeds typically require current electrical certification as a condition of your licence.
If the inspection identifies issues, the report will include observation codes:
Optima is different from test-only firms. We are a full electrical contractor, so remedial work — consumer unit upgrade, rewiring, or circuit repairs — can be done on the same visit.
Once remedial work is complete, we retest and issue the satisfactory certificate. One company, start to finish.
A standard inspection takes 2–4 hours depending on the property size and age. If satisfactory, your certificate is issued the same day.
We offer portfolio pricing for landlords and agents managing multiple properties in Leeds. Whether you have two houses or twenty, we schedule inspections efficiently and maintain compliance records.
