Managed portfolios

EICRs for letting agents in Chesterfield

Forty properties means forty renewal dates. The duty sits with the landlord; the consequence of a missed date lands on your desk. What helps is not a cheaper inspection. It is one route to a qualified electrician, and dates that do not surprise anyone.

The duty rests with the landlord. The diary is usually yours.

Where is the property?

The postcode tells us whether we cover you.

Property type (optional)

Where you are in the cycle (optional)If your current report still has months to run, we would rather tell you that than book you in early.

What you are getting

Agents manage renewal dates, not inspections

Renewal dates visible before they are urgent

Five years is predictable. A missed renewal is a diary failure, not an electrical one, and it is the one that costs money.

One route rather than forty

A different electrician per landlord means a different format, lead time and conversation every time.

Reports that will stand up

With the schedule attached, ready for a tenant within 28 days or the authority within seven.

Straight answers on remedial work

An unsatisfactory result starts a 28-day clock. You need a clear account of what was found and what it will take, not a conditional estimate.

What you get

A report records circuits, codes and limitations

The verdict is the least useful part. What matters is the schedule of test results behind it, the coded observations, and an honest record of anything the inspection could not reach.

A ticked box and nothing else is a verdict with no working shown. Worth knowing before you accept one, whoever arranged it.

6	Outbuilding supply	20A Type B

Observations and classification codes

C2No RCD protection to the outbuilding supply.
C3Consumer unit is not of a non-combustible construction.

One C2 present, so this report reads unsatisfactory. The C3 alone would not have made it so.

An illustration, not a real report. No address, reference or signature: those belong to a real inspection.

What the law says

Landlord duties carry fixed deadlines

England, privately rented homes. Every line is from the regulations themselves rather than from somebody's summary of them, and the sources are listed underneath.

Inspection interval	No more than 5 years, or shorter where the report specifies
Report to existing tenants	Within 28 days of the inspection
Report to a new tenant	Before they occupy
Report to a prospective tenant	Within 28 days of a written request
Report to the local housing authority	Within 7 days of a written request
Remedial or further investigative work	Within 28 days, or sooner if the report specifies
Written confirmation the work is done	To tenants and the authority within 28 days of completion
Maximum financial penalty	£40,000, raised from £30,000 in 2025

Sources

This describes the law in England. The Welsh and Scottish positions differ, Scotland's repairing standard also covers portable appliances, which the England duty on private landlords does not. It is general information, not legal advice. Last checked against the primary sources on 27 August 2026.

How it works

A portfolio needs a calendar, not bookings

The work is in the scheduling. Better set up once than handled as each date turns urgent.

Send the portfolio and the dates
Addresses, and the expiry of any current report. That gives you a renewal calendar instead of a queue of emergencies.
We match capacity to the volume
A portfolio needs people who can work a schedule. If the volume is more than can be covered properly, we will say so.
Access through the tenancy, as you normally would
Notice, isolation and repeat visits work as they do for any contractor. Nothing changes your process.
Reports back, dates updated
Each with its schedule, and the next renewal date recorded so the cycle continues.

Areas covered

We cover eight towns across north Derbyshire

Chesterfield and north Derbyshire. Portfolios across this area frequently span several housing authorities, which matters when one of them makes a written request.

Coverage check

Do we cover your postcode?

Type the first part, like S40 or DE45. No need for the whole thing.

Who does the work

Every electrician clears six checks

We do not carry out the inspection. We put you in touch with an electrician who does. An EICR is worth what the person signing it is worth, so these checks are the product. Each is verified against the issuing body's own register, not taken from a logo.

Competent to inspect and test

Inspection and testing carries its own qualification. A good installer is not automatically the right person to sign a report.

Registered with a competent person scheme

Checked on the scheme's own public register, not a badge on a website.

Public liability insurance, in date

We check the certificate and the expiry date, not just that one exists. A lapsed policy is the most common reason to turn someone away.

Reports that carry their schedule

We look at an electrician's reports before sending them a job. The schedule of results is the part worth checking.

Working to the current standard

BS 7671 as currently amended. The 2026 amendment changed what makes a report unsatisfactory, and not everyone has caught up.

A public record worth reading

We read what previous customers wrote instead of counting stars. We publish no figure of our own, because we have none.

Scheme registration and insurance details come with your quote, so you can check them against the public register yourself. How we choose electricians sets out every check, including what gets someone turned away.

Questions

Agent questions

Does the duty sit with us or the landlord?

With the landlord. The regulations place the obligations there, and the penalty follows them. The diary, the access and the fallout sit with you.

Can you take a whole portfolio at once?

It depends on the volume and how much is already current. Send the numbers and you get a straight answer on what can be covered.

What format do the reports come in?

A condition report with its schedule of test results, signed by the person who carried out the inspection.

How quickly does remedial work have to happen?

Within 28 days of the inspection, or sooner where the report specifies a shorter period, and the landlord must obtain written confirmation from a qualified person that it has been done.

Other situations

The same inspection carries different duties

The inspection is the same piece of work whoever asks for it. What changes is the duty attached, and whether there is one at all.
