Let property in England needs its fixed wiring inspected at least every five years, and a good deal of what is let here goes by the week, so the changeover gap is the natural slot for it.
A coastal position changes what the report finds. Outside sockets, garden and boat-store supplies and boards in external cupboards all take salt-laden air, and corrosion on accessories and enclosures is one of the commoner findings.

I had an EV charger installed by Valand, and I couldn’t be more pleased. From the initial quote to the final inspection, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure the charger was positioned exactly where I wanted it. All the necessary certificates provided and warranty as well. Excellent service from start to finish!

EICR in West Mersea — FAQs
It is let out most of the summer. When can you come?+
Between bookings, while it is empty, because every room and the meter cupboard have to be reachable and the power goes off in sections.
Does a holiday let need one?+
If it is let under a private tenancy, yes, at least every five years. For short holiday lets the regulations differ, but the report is what insurers and booking platforms generally ask to see, so owners here tend to hold one anyway.
The board is in an outside cupboard.+
Then the enclosure is inspected with the wiring. Weatherproofing that has failed lets damp reach the board, and that shows up in the readings before it shows up as a trip.
The chalet has a shallow roof and no loft.+
That changes the routes, not the test. Circuits usually run above the ceiling rather than down solid walls, and the report says where a route has limited what could be inspected.
What comes back to me?+
The report, every circuit's readings, each finding by code, and a separate price for anything that needs putting right.
