You do not need to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) in order to sell a property, although it will give your buyer peace of mind that the property they are buying is electrically safe.
If you have had any electrical work carried out that is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations (all installation work and anything in a bathroom), then this must either be carried out by a registered electrician, who will issue you with a certificate on completion of the work, or reported to the Local Authority Building Control. Without this certification, you may find it difficult to sell the property.
We recommend that you use a registered electrician for any electrical work in the home. You can find one here.
