Faversham Letting Agency EICR

For letting agencies covering Faversham, the EICR question is rarely about a single property — it’s about keeping a portfolio compliant, certificates refreshed before they expire, and Swale Borough Council requests answered in the seven-day window the regulations require. CJA Electrical works at portfolio scale: one point of contact, consistent format, batch booking around your void schedule.

What an EICR involves for Letting Agency

A landlord EICR done for an agency is the same standard test as one done for a private landlord — BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 inspection and circuit-level testing, with C1/C2/C3/FI observation codes against any findings. The point of running it through an agency framework is the operational consistency: same format, same turnaround, same delivery method, regardless of which property in the portfolio is being tested.

When you need this in Faversham

The agency’s EICR triggers tend to fall into a few categories: - Five-yearly cycle on properties with current certificates approaching expiry - New tenancy starting — landlord needs a current report before tenant occupation - Property new to management — incoming compliance audit identifies missing certificate - Swale Borough Council request — seven-day clock means same-week turnaround helps - Tenant complaint — flickering lights, repeated tripping, anything safety-flag worthy - Portfolio acquisition — bulk catch-up on properties added through a takeover All five-day turnaround targets, all single-point delivery to the agency.

What the report contains

Every EICR comes back as a single-PDF deliverable: the EICR form with inspector qualifications, property address, observation codes, and overall pass-or-fail; the schedule of inspection; and the schedule of test results per circuit. Standard format, agency-inbox delivery. For unsatisfactory reports, we attach a quote for the remedial work alongside the report — landlord can accept, decline, or seek a second quote without the agent having to chase. Re-test on completion is included once the work is booked back in.

How the inspection runs

Framework booking flow: 1. Agency emails or messages with property list (one or many) 2. Quote and appointment options come back the same working day 3. Tenant access confirmed via the agency or directly with tenants 4. Inspection visits — power off briefly on each circuit during testing 5. Reports delivered as PDF to the agency’s compliance inbox within 48 hours 6. Unsatisfactory reports include a remedial-work quote attached 7. On agreement, remedials are booked in and re-test issues a fresh certificate

What affects the price

We’ll agree framework pricing per property type at the start of the relationship. Routine bookings then run at framework rates without separate quoting per job. Outliers — larger properties, period stock with extensive rewires, anything atypical — are flagged at booking and quoted individually. Invoice per batch, agency-direct, standard terms.

FAQs

Can you deal directly with tenants for access?

Yes — most agencies prefer this for routine inspections. Once you forward the tenant contact details, we confirm a slot directly with the tenant by phone or SMS, send a reminder the day before, and turn up at the agreed time. The agent stays in the loop on the booking and the report but doesn’t need to chase tenant access.

What format do you supply the certificate in?

Standard industry EICR PDF — the form itself with the observation codes, the schedule of inspection, and the schedule of test results per circuit. Single document, delivered to your agency compliance inbox by default. The format is universally accepted by Swale Borough Council, the Private Rented Sector Database, and standard property-management back-office systems.

Can you handle remedial works as well as the inspection?

Yes. Where the EICR comes back unsatisfactory, we attach a remedial quote alongside the report so the landlord has one document to consider. On acceptance, we book the works in, complete them, re-test the affected circuits, and issue a fresh satisfactory report. The whole inspection-to-clean-certificate cycle typically fits inside a fortnight.

Do you charge per property or per portfolio visit?

Per property. Each property’s testing is documented separately and gets its own certificate, even when several are visited on the same day. We do batch the bookings to keep travel costs down — visiting four Faversham properties in a single day is meaningfully cheaper than four separate trips, and the framework pricing reflects that.

Can you cover Faversham and the surrounding Swale towns?

Yes. Our service area covers Medway, Maidstone, Gravesham, Swale, and the rest of north and west Kent. Faversham is reached from our Rochester base in around 35 minutes. We typically batch portfolio inspections across Sittingbourne, Sheerness, Whitstable on the same booking sweep where the diary allows.

Do you carry the right insurance for agency framework work?

Yes — £1m public and product liability, plus £100k professional indemnity. Certificate of insurance available on request for inclusion in your supplier files. The cover applies across all routine domestic EICR work, including remedial work commissioned through the framework.
