Replace scattered certificate folders
EPC and EICR records often live in email threads, download folders, or spreadsheets. Apex Heritage gives each property a clear compliance record so you can find certificate status and documents quickly.
EPC and EICR tracking
Keep energy and electrical records visible for every rental property
Apex Heritage helps landlords keep EPC and EICR records connected to each property, alongside gas safety, deposit, licence, alarm, and tenancy records.
Spot missing and expiring records
Traffic-light compliance status makes it easier to identify properties that need action. Landlords can focus on the certificates that are missing, expired, or approaching renewal.
Keep certificate work tied to the tenancy
When a tenancy starts, changes, or ends, compliance evidence should be easy to review. Apex Heritage keeps the property, tenancy, document, and reminder context together.

- EICR record tracking by property

Common questions
What is an EPC and how long is it valid for?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). EPCs are valid for 10 years. Landlords must have a valid EPC before marketing a property to rent, and the current minimum legal rating for rental properties in England is E.
What is an EICR and when is it required?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of a property's fixed electrical installations carried out by a qualified electrician. Since April 2021, England landlords must have an EICR completed at least every 5 years, or at the start of a new tenancy if the last report is more than 5 years old.
What happens if my EPC rating is below E?
Since April 2020, landlords in England cannot legally grant a new tenancy or renew an existing tenancy for a property with an EPC rating of F or G (with limited exemptions). You must carry out improvements to reach at least an E rating before the property can be let.
What must I do when an EICR identifies remedial work?
If an EICR identifies urgent or investigative work (coded C1 or C2), landlords must complete the remedial work within 28 days of the inspection (or sooner if the report specifies). Evidence of completion must be provided to the tenant and, if requested, to the local housing authority within 28 days of the work being done.
Do I need to give my tenant a copy of the EICR?
Yes. The EICR must be provided to new tenants before they move in, and to existing tenants within 28 days of a new inspection. If a tenant requests a copy, you must supply it within 28 days.
