Holiday Let EICR across Kent

Holiday let EICR work across Kent

Holiday lets sit outside the 2020 PRS regulations because they’re not assured shorthold tenancies — but the platform and insurance requirements have effectively created a parallel compliance regime. Airbnb, Sykes, Vrbo, and most holiday-let insurers now require a current satisfactory EICR. Five-year cycle is the industry standard.

What’s different about holiday-let inspection

The technical inspection is the standard BS 7671 test, but the scope often includes a closer look at high-load equipment specific to holiday-let usage. Hot tubs and spa supplies. EV chargers (increasingly common as guest expectations evolve). Electric heating in older properties. Outdoor lighting and patio sockets. Guest behaviour can be hard on installations, so these all get more scrutiny than they might on a standard owner-occupied inspection.

We work around the booking calendar — most holiday-let inspections in Kent happen off-season, but turnover-day windows between guests work too where the scope allows. Same-week appointments typical, with the report PDF inside 48 hours.
