Yes. Local authorities can request to see a copy of your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) where they have regulatory or enforcement responsibilities.

This most commonly applies to rented residential properties, including private rented sector and some forms of social housing, where local authorities have powers to request evidence that electrical safety standards are being met. In these cases, an EICR may need to be provided within a specified timeframe if formally requested.

Local authorities may also request EICRs as part of:

Housing enforcement activity

Licensing or registration schemes

Investigations following complaints or incidents

Audits or compliance checks on managed properties

Failure to provide a valid EICR when requested can lead to enforcement action, including improvement notices or financial penalties, depending on the circumstances.

It is the responsibility of the duty holder (such as the landlord, property owner or managing organisation) to ensure that EICRs are current, accurate and readily available.

L123 Ltd provides clear, compliant EICRs and supporting documentation to help clients meet these obligations and respond confidently to any request from a local authority or regulator.
