We recognise that most landlords fully understand their obligations to keep electrical installations in repair and good working order and that most already undertake regular electrical safety checks. Regulations are now in force requiring that landlords have the electrical installation at their properties checked at least once every five years.
Landlords have a legal obligation to make sure that the risk posed by fire is managed and that safety measures are in place to reduce the risk.

Specific regulations apply in addition to a risk based approach which are detailed in this page.
