Manchester's rented housing is very mixed. The city centre and Ancoats are full of apartment blocks, Fallowfield, Withington and Rusholme have a large number of student houses, and areas like Levenshulme, Gorton, Longsight and Moston are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Further south, Didsbury and Chorlton have larger semis and converted flats, and Wythenshawe has a lot of post-war housing.
Each type brings its own issues. Apartments often have electric heating and long cable runs in shared risers. Student houses are frequently licensed HMOs with extra demands from cooking and heating. Converted flats can have shared supplies or circuits that cross between units, which the electrician will need to trace.
Do student houses and HMOs in Manchester need an EICR?
Yes. Student houses and other HMOs in Manchester need an EICR at least every 5 years, and Manchester City Council asks for a valid report when you apply for or renew an HMO licence. Book before the summer changeover so any remedial work is finished before new tenants arrive.
If you let a house in Fallowfield, Withington, Victoria Park or Rusholme to students, the turnaround between tenancies is often tight in summer. Booking your EICR early means any remedial work can be done before the next group moves in. Manchester City Council requires a valid EICR for HMO licensing, and our HMO pricing adds a set charge per bedroom.
How much does an EICR cost in Manchester?
An EICR in Manchester costs from £120 to £310, depending on the number of bedrooms. The price covers up to 12 circuits. Extra circuits and HMO bedrooms add set charges, all shown in the booking form before you confirm. Remedial work, if needed, is quoted separately.
Which parts of Manchester do you cover?
We cover the whole of Manchester, including the M1 to M40 postcodes. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, enter your postcode in the booking form or contact us and we will check.
For flats in M1 to M4, M15 and the Northern Quarter, the inspection covers the installation within the flat from the meter or supply point onwards. Communal areas are normally the responsibility of the building's management company. Please tell us about any parking or concierge arrangements in the booking notes so the electrician can get in without delay.
