With the PRS deadline of April 2021 fast approaching, we have engaged with the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to obtain clear guidance for electrical contractors, landlords and tenants regarding compliance during COVID-19.
A summary of our findings can be seen below:
HAS COVID-19 PROMPTED A CHANGE TO THE PRS LEGISLATION?
No, It is important to note that PRS legislation and timings have not changed. Full details on the regulations, including information relating to the steps landlords, can take if they cannot find an inspector or if they are unable to gain access to a property in normal circumstances can be viewed here.
WHAT ACTION WILL BE TAKEN IF LANDLORDS AND INSPECTORS ARE UNABLE TO COMPLY DUE TO COVID-19 ACCESS ISSUES?
While the regulation and the schedule hasn’t changed, MHCLG has issued new COVID-19 specific guidance for landlord, tenants and local authorities. Encouraging local authorities to take a pragmatic, risk-based and common-sense approach to enforcement during COVID-19 the advice outlines reasonable steps landlords should take in the interim period.
A topline summary of this updated guidance and how it relates to PRS electrical safety checks is shown below:
• A landlord is not in breach of their duty to comply with a remedial notice if they can show they have taken all reasonable steps to comply.
• A landlord could show reasonable steps by keeping copies of all communications they have had with tenants and electricians as they attempt to make arrangements to carry out the work, including any replies
• Landlords may also wish to provide other evidence which shows the electrical installation is in a good condition while they attempt to arrange works. This could include the servicing record and previous condition reports.
• A landlord who has been prevented from accessing the premises will not be required to begin legal proceedings against their tenant to show that all reasonable steps have been taken to comply with their duties.
"Kieran and his team were a pleasure to deal with. Great communication, very friendly and we were very happy with the price. The work was carried out very efficiently and the finished work was top notch. The workers left no mess behind and were very polite. I would highly recommend Mango Electrical ltd."
"I have now used Mango electrical several times.. from prepping wiring for installation of an electric car point - to rewiring garden lights... each time they have turned up on time when booked (little things).. got the job done super efficiently.. cleaned up after themselves.. Ciaran and all his staff have been super polite and professional - they are my go to for any electrical work big or small.."
"Really pleased. Luca and Ciaren were really professional and friendly. Will certainly be using them again."
"Keiran sent around David and Kai to change our consumer unit when our supply was being moved. There were a few different parties involved in getting the supply moved and they were great with being felixible to make sure we could get power as soon as possible. They left a few spare breakers for a future extension which is more than I could have expected. They were tidy, polite, punctual. Couldn't be happier."
"Friendly guys, no fuss, in and out - Fair rates."
