Easy EPC provides domestic and commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Oxford. With an estimated 19,800 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.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, every private landlord in England must have the electrical installation in their rental property inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified person. A valid EICR must be in place before a new tenant moves in.
For Oxford’s estimated 19,800 private rental properties, this means every landlord must maintain a current EICR or face enforcement action.
Local authorities can impose financial penalties of up to £30,000 per breach. Councils can also arrange remedial work themselves and charge the landlord.
Oxford's rental market is among the most competitive in England outside London, driven by the University of Oxford, Oxford Brookes University, and a large professional population. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Jericho, East Oxford, and Cowley form the backbone of the private rented sector, and their age means electrical installations frequently require attention during EICR inspections.
Oxford has approximately 54,200 dwellings in total: 20,500 owner-occupied (38%), 19,800 privately rented (37%), and 9,600 social housing (18%).

Yes. Oxford has a significant stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Jericho and East Oxford, and under the 2020 Regulations every private landlord must have a valid EICR renewed at least every five years. New tenancies require a valid report before the tenant moves in. Failure to comply can result in financial penalties of up to £30,000 per breach.
EICR prices in Oxford 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 aging wiring in high-demand student and professional rental stock 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 Oxford 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.
