Here’s what you need to be aware of as a social landlord with new electrical safety regulation now in force.

Local councils can now issue fines of up to £40,000 to landlords who don’t meet the new electrical safety duties, such as failure to act on remediations.
Electrical installations and any appliances you provide must now be checked by a qualified and competent person.

Are you up to date with the changes that came into effect on 1 November for the social rented sector in England?
