HMO Electrical Inspections & Compliance
HMO properties have higher compliance expectations and usually involve more occupants, more electrical usage, and more scrutiny from local authorities. Manchester Electrical Inspections provide HMO electrical inspections and EICRs across Greater Manchester & Cheshire with clear, landlord-focused reporting.
What we check in an HMO inspection
- Full fixed installation condition (wiring, consumer unit, circuits and protective devices)
- Earthing and bonding
- Evidence of overloading, overheating or unsafe alterations
- Suitability of RCD protection and circuit design
- General electrical safety observations relevant to occupancy levels
Compliance support (not just a report)
If the report identifies issues, we can carry out remedial works to bring the installation up to standard. You’ll get clear confirmation once required works are completed so you can keep proper records.

FAQs
Is an HMO EICR different from a standard landlord EICR?
The inspection format is similar, but HMOs often require more careful planning around access, higher usage, and stricter compliance expectations.
Can you carry out remedial works after the inspection?
Yes. If faults are found, we can quote and complete remedial works to help achieve a satisfactory outcome.
Do you work with letting agents?
Yes—if you manage HMOs, we can schedule inspections around tenant access and provide clear documentation for your records.
