The Landlord’s Compliance Guide (Leicester 2026)

A Litt • 18 March 2026

If you are a landlord in Leicester or across Leicestershire, staying compliant with the Private Rented Sector Regulations is non-negotiable. As we move into 2026, the standard for a "Satisfactory" Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is higher than ever.


Common Failure Codes in Leicester Properties:

  • C1 (Danger Present): This requires immediate action. Our Emergency Electricians in Leicester are available 24/7 to make these faults safe.
  • C2 (Potentially Dangerous): Urgent remedial work is needed.
  • FI (Further Investigation): Often found when a circuit cannot be fully traced.


Why Choose 786 Electricals? We offer prices for EICR testing starting at £140 for a 1-bed flat. Unlike some local competitors who might "find" unnecessary faults to hike up repair bills, our "Grateful, Humble, Honest" approach ensures you only pay for what is truly needed to keep your tenants safe in areas like Oadby, Wigston, and beyond.
