What Is an Electrical Issues Claim?

Electrical faults are one of the most serious hazards a tenant can face, because the consequences can be severe — including fire and electric shock. When wiring, sockets, or electrical systems in a rented property are unsafe and the landlord fails to act, tenants and their families can be put at real risk. An electrical issues claim allows tenants to seek compensation when a landlord fails to keep the electrical installation safe and in good repair.

Common problems include faulty or exposed wiring, sparking or damaged sockets, frequently tripping fuses, flickering lights, burning smells, and outdated or unsafe fuse boards. These are not minor annoyances — they can be warning signs of a genuinely dangerous installation. Ignoring them can lead to electrical fires, injury, and damage to belongings and appliances.

Under UK law, landlords have strict duties to keep the electrical installation of a rented property safe, and are generally required to have it inspected regularly through an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). If you have reported electrical faults and your landlord has failed to act within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to claim compensation and have the problem made safe. Our team helps tenants understand their rights and hold landlords to account.

Can You Make an Electrical Issues Claim?

You may be eligible to make an electrical issues claim if:

  • You live in a rented property (council, housing association, or private).
  • You reported the electrical fault to your landlord or letting agent.
  • Your landlord failed to carry out repairs within a reasonable time.
  • The fault affected your safety, your belongings, or your ability to live comfortably.
  • You experienced inconvenience, distress, injury, or financial loss as a result.

If these circumstances apply to you, our team can assess your case and explain your options. Keeping a record of when you reported the problem — along with dated photographs — can strengthen your claim.

Electrical Issues Claim FAQs

How much compensation can I get for electrical issues?
Compensation depends on how serious the fault is, how long it went unrepaired, and its impact on your safety and belongings. Dangerous faults that put you at risk of fire or shock, or that cause injury or damage to appliances, can increase the value of a claim. We’ll give you a realistic idea after assessing your case.
Yes. Landlords have strict legal duties to keep the electrical installation of a rented property safe and in good repair, and are generally required to arrange regular electrical safety inspections. Where they fail to fix reported faults within a reasonable time, they are usually liable.
Report it to your landlord in writing as soon as possible and keep a record, as electrical faults can be dangerous. For anything that appears to pose an immediate risk — such as sparking, burning smells, or exposed wiring — treat it as urgent. If your landlord fails to act, you may be entitled to make a claim.
Helpful evidence includes dated photographs of the fault, copies of the reports or complaints you sent your landlord, any electrical inspection or repair reports, medical records if you were injured, and details of any belongings or appliances that were damaged.
