Rentals & Holiday let properties
Landlord responsibilities
As a landlord of a long-term rental or a holiday let in Cumbria, you have a legal duty to ensure the electrical system in your property is safe for tenants and guests. Under current UK regulations, landlords are required to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or at the change of a tenancy.
Our Services
At New Phase Cumbria Ltd, we simplify compliance for you. As NICEIC Approved Contractors with over 20 years of experience, we provide comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR). We ensure your property meets the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, providing you with the necessary certification to prove your property is safe and legally compliant
Pat testing
While the fixed wiring is covered by an EICR, any portable appliances provided—such as kettles, toasters, lamps, or TVs—must also be safe for use. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the most effective way to ensure these items do not pose a fire or shock hazard to your guests. In the competitive holiday let market, regular PAT testing is often a mandatory requirement for business insurance and provides a vital paper trail of your commitment to guest safety.
