Housing associations, managing agents and inspection companies working in Swansea run EICR programmes under Wales's regulatory framework. Here's what applies, how often it's due, and how local providers manage it with Kaarr.
In Wales, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 requires a valid Electrical Condition Report at least every five years for rented homes, with copies to contract-holders.
C1 and C2 observations must be remediated within 28 days in the rented sector, with written confirmation. Across a portfolio, EICRs generate a steady stream of remedial work that has to be tracked, evidenced and closed — exactly where paper processes fail.
Swansea is in Wales, so the governing framework is: Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 — electrical safety. In Wales, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 requires a valid Electrical Condition Report at least every five years for rented homes, with copies to contract-holders.
The report must be produced by a qualified, competent electrician working to BS 7671 — software can't substitute for that. If you employ qualified electricians, Kaarr gives them the mobile workflow and handles certificates, C1/C2 remedial tracking and expiry management.
Rented homes across England, Wales and Scotland require an EICR at least every five years, by a qualified and competent electrician. Many providers add annual visual checks between EICRs. Kaarr manages the programme and the certification trail — the inspection itself must be done by a qualified electrician, in-house or contracted.
