What it is
If you've inherited properties, taken over a portfolio or changed contractors, it's often unclear what's been tested and when. Upload your existing documents and we'll review them: dates, outcomes, outstanding C1/C2/FI items, missing certificates and next due dates. You receive a prioritised action list and a compliance schedule in your account. This is a desk review of documents, not a site inspection.
What's included
- Review of uploaded reports and certificates
- Gaps and outstanding items list
- Compliance schedule set up in your account
Not included
- Site inspection
- Verifying the accuracy of other contractors' test results
Who needs it
- Letting agents taking on new landlords
- Property managers and portfolio owners
- Facilities managers changing contractors
What you'll receive
Written review and compliance schedule.
How often
When taking on properties or annually for portfolios.
What the rules say
Each point is labelled so you can tell what's law, what's a British Standard, and what's good practice or comes from your lease, licence or insurer.
- Legal requirementEngland
Inspect at least every five years, and before a new tenancy starts
Private landlords, and since 2025 social landlords, must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at intervals of no more than five years, or sooner if the last report says so. GOV.UK says a fresh inspection isn't needed for a new tenancy if a report from the last five years exists and no work is outstanding.

- Legal requirementGreat Britain
Workplace systems must be maintained to prevent danger
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems at work to be maintained, so far as reasonably practicable, to prevent danger. They don't set a fixed inspection interval: how often depends on the type of installation, its use and condition.
