Easy EPC provides domestic and commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Edinburgh. With an estimated 52,400 privately rented dwellings in the area, electrical safety is a significant concern for landlords, tenants, and homeowners.
Our qualified, registered electricians carry out full inspections to BS 7671. On the day, we automatically fix issues up to £200+VAT where time and parts allow — helping you get a Satisfactory result without a return visit.
In Scotland, the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 requires all private landlords to have a valid EICR before the start of every new tenancy. The Scottish Government’s repairing standard mandates that electrical installations are inspected at least every 5 years.
For Edinburgh’s estimated 52,400 private rental properties, this means every landlord must maintain a current EICR or face enforcement action.
The Scottish Government can take enforcement action through the First-tier Tribunal. Non-compliance can affect landlord registration status.
Edinburgh's tenement flats and Georgian townhouses make it one of Scotland's most distinctive rental markets. Scotland has its own EICR regulations under the Housing (Scotland) Act, requiring all private landlords to have a valid EICR before the start of every new tenancy. The city's older New Town and Old Town properties present particular electrical safety challenges.
Edinburgh has approximately 237,400 dwellings in total: 136,900 owner-occupied (58%), 52,400 privately rented (22%), and 37,600 social housing (16%).

Yes. With Edinburgh’s tenement flats and Georgian townhouses, regular electrical inspections are essential. The Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 requires all private landlords to have a valid EICR, inspected at least every five years by a qualified electrician. New tenancies require a valid report before the tenant moves in.
EICR prices in Edinburgh typically start from £99.95+VAT for a standard domestic property. The exact cost depends on property size, number of circuits, and accessibility — properties with original or early twentieth-century wiring in older tenements may need additional inspection time. Larger homes, HMOs, and commercial premises cost more. Contact Easy EPC for a free, no-obligation quote.
If your property receives an Unsatisfactory result, you have 28 days to complete the required remedial work using a qualified, registered electrician. C1 codes (Danger Present) require immediate action. Once repairs are complete, the electrician issues a certificate confirming the work. Easy EPC can carry out remedial work up to £200+VAT on the day where time and parts allow.
A standard domestic EICR in Edinburgh typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. Larger properties, HMOs, and properties with complex or older electrical installations may take longer. The electrician needs access to all areas including the consumer unit, loft spaces, and any outbuildings.
