If you are a landlord who rents out your properties, it important that you undertake an electrical inspection on your properties at least every 5 years.

The landlord must ensure that an electrical installation in a rented property is safe when tenants move in and maintained in a safe condition throughout its duration. 

That a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) has a periodic inspection carried out on the property every five years. 

If your property is not an HMO, you are not legally obliged to do this. However, we recommend that a periodic inspection and test is carried out by a registered electrician on your rental properties at least every five years
