Horsforth has something no other town on our patch has outside Leeds itself: a real student-let market. Leeds Trinity University on Brownberrie Lane fills the terraces and semis around Town Street, Broadgate Lane and the station with shared houses every September and every one of them needs a satisfactory EICR at least every five years. A shared house gets harder use than a family home, with more appliances, more extension leads and more people who do not know where the fuse board is.
We carry out EICRs across Horsforth for landlords with one house or a dozen, for agents and for homeowners in the larger houses around Hall Park and Cragg Hill. The inspection covers the fixed wiring, the board, the sockets and every circuit and the report codes each finding by how urgent it is. Across Leeds an EICR is typically £120 to £250 for a house or flat and landlords with several properties get a rate agreed for the set. You get a fixed price before we book and the report the same day.

Your questions, answered
Do I need an EICR for a house let to Leeds Trinity students?
Yes. It is a private rental like any other, so a satisfactory EICR at least every five years is required and a copy has to go to the tenants. If the house is an HMO the council may ask to see it too.
How often does a student let need re-testing?
Every five years at most. With heavy use we suggest a look sooner if the last report had several observations and always after any significant work.
What if tenants report a fault mid-tenancy?
Call us. We do fault finding across Horsforth and can usually get to a tripping board or a dead circuit the same day, then note anything relevant on your next report.
