Electricians in Leeds: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners:

You're responsible for most electrical work in your property. For major jobs, check that the work meets Building Regulations. You'll also need a certificate for some upgrades (like fuse boxes or rewires). Keep documentation safe – you might need it if you sell.

Renters:

Landlords are responsible for electrical installations and safety checks. If something's not working, report it to your letting agent or landlord as soon as possible. They should arrange a qualified electrician to carry out the work.
