We would strongly recommend that any Landlord, regardless of whether they see themselves as running a business or not, should make absolutely sure they are complying with these regulations to ensure that all electrical equipment supplied is safe.

In order to do this we recommend:

* Annual visual inspections by the landlord or agent - recording this on a safety checklist,
* Inspections on tenant change-overs, recording electrical equipment, its condition and fuses fitted - see PAT Testing
* Periodic inspections of electrical equipment by a qualified electrician.
* 5 yearly inspections by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and that the electrical system complies with current electrical regulations or change of tenant.
* Keep all records of these inspections.
