Istead Rise Letting Agency EICR

CJA Electrical works with letting agencies across Istead Rise and the wider Gravesham area on landlord EICR compliance. The 2020 PRS regulations sit on the landlord legally, but the operational burden lands squarely on the agent — managing tenant access, chasing certificates before void weeks close, fielding council requests, and keeping the portfolio’s compliance data clean. We’re set up around shifting that workload off the agent.

What an EICR involves for Letting Agency

The technical inspection follows BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 regardless of who’s booking it — visual check of consumer unit, accessories, and supply route followed by dead and live testing of every circuit. The report uses the same C1, C2, C3, FI observation codes the regulations specify. What letting agents typically value is what wraps around the inspection: coordinated tenant access, consistent reporting timelines, single-point invoicing, and a remedial-work quote attached to any unsatisfactory report so the landlord can decide quickly. We bake all of that into the framework.

When you need this in Istead Rise

Agency-side EICR demand peaks around three things: the routine five-yearly cycle (which the agent often coordinates without much landlord involvement), the void week between tenancies, and Gravesham Borough Council compliance audits when they happen. We’ll cope with all three on the same framework — same booking process, same delivery method, same format — and accommodate the fast-turnaround end of the work whenever the diary allows.

What the report contains

Output format: standard industry EICR PDF, three-part document (form + inspection schedule + test results), delivered to the agency’s compliance inbox by default. Unsatisfactory reports come with the remedial quote already attached, so the agent has one document to forward to the landlord rather than chasing a quote separately. Gravesham Borough Council pushback on report format is rare — the standard form is universally accepted.

How the inspection runs

The standard agency workflow: Property details across (address, circuit count, tenant or key access). Quote confirms timing and price for each property in the batch. Visits scheduled around tenant availability. Inspection on the day. Report PDF delivered within 48 hours per property. Remedial quote attached where needed. Where an agency wants to handle tenant comms directly we step back and coordinate via you. Where you’d rather we handle them, we’ll do that instead.

What affects the price

Framework pricing for letting agencies is structured around the variables that genuinely affect the work: property size, circuit count, consumer unit type, and accessibility. We agree base prices per property type once, then apply them across the portfolio with no per-job back-and-forth. No deposit on framework work, single agency invoice covering each batch, payment on completion. Get in touch with a representative property list and we’ll come back with the framework numbers.

FAQs

Can you flag certificates approaching expiry across our portfolio?

We can supply a renewal-due-date list with each certificate so your back-office systems can put the renewal date into the property record. We don’t operate a separate reminder service — that part sits more naturally inside your property management software — but we’ll work to whatever renewal cadence the agency wants.

Do you offer framework pricing for letting agencies in Istead Rise?

Yes. We agree base prices per property type at the start of the relationship and apply them across the portfolio. Routine bookings run at framework rates with no per-job back-and-forth. Outliers — very large properties, multi-consumer-unit installs — are flagged and quoted individually. Single invoice per batch, agency-direct.

How quickly can you turn an EICR round during a void week in Istead Rise?

Same-week is the default. Where a void-week inspection has to fit between move-out and move-in, we can usually inspect within a couple of working days of the booking and have the report PDF in your inbox within 48 hours of the visit. Remedial work, where needed, can sometimes happen on the same visit if the scope is small.

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 Gravesham Borough Council, the Private Rented Sector Database, and standard property-management back-office systems.
