HMO & Student Property EICR Specialists in Cathays CF24
Cathays landlords face more complex EICR requirements than most. HMO properties need enhanced assessment — fire safety evaluation, smoke alarm compliance, emergency lighting where required, and circuit capacity assessment for the high electrical loads typical of multi-occupancy student houses. Our inspectors are trained in HMO EICR requirements and provide compliant reports for licensing purposes.
Cathays's Victorian terraces present the same wiring challenges as other period Cardiff neighbourhoods. The difference in Cathays is the rate of modification — student properties often have electrical work carried out by multiple tenants and landlords over decades, creating installations that require careful, systematic assessment. We approach these methodically.
Cathays EICRs start from £150 for a standard property. HMOs may require additional assessment time. We offer portfolio discounts for landlords with multiple Cathays properties and can often schedule inspections to align with tenancy changeovers in summer.
