Bolton has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 terraced housing in Greater Manchester. Streets of two-up two-down homes around Deane, Daubhill, Halliwell and Tonge Moor make up a big share of the private rented market, alongside 1930s semis in Heaton and Harwood and newer estates out towards Horwich and Westhoughton.
Older terraces often have wiring that has been altered several times over the decades. It is common to find a mix of old and new cable, extra sockets added from existing circuits, and consumer units that have been replaced without the earthing and bonding being brought up to date. An EICR records all of this so you know where the property stands.
What do Bolton landlords need to know about EICRs?
Bolton landlords must have an EICR at least every 5 years and give tenants a copy within 28 days. In older terraces the power is switched off circuit by circuit during testing, so warn your tenant. Any C1, C2 or FI items must be fixed within 28 days.
Many Bolton landlords own one or two terraced houses and manage them themselves. The most common questions are about access when a tenant is in, how long the power will be off, and what happens if the old fuse board fails. The electrician will need to switch circuits off for testing, so it helps to let your tenant know in advance. If the report lists C1 or C2 items, the law gives you 28 days (or less if the report says so) to put them right.
