Old Trafford
Old Trafford is landlord-certificate country. Between the shared houses, converted flats and HMOs across M16 there is constant demand for EICRs, and HMO licensing adds its own requirements. We know the local rented stock well, work with letting agents and tenants on access, and get satisfactory reports back quickly.
EICRs & electrical testing across Old Trafford
Old Trafford is the M16 corner of Trafford next to the city — famous for the football and cricket grounds, close to Trafford Park and Hulme. The housing is dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces, a lot of it converted to flats or run as shared houses, with newer apartment blocks going up around the stadiums and along the tram line.
That rental and HMO density makes landlord EICRs and certificates a big part of what we do here, and the age of the terraces keeps rewires, board changes and fault-finding steady. The trams and the A56 mean we are in and out quickly.
We test across M16 and neighbouring Stretford, in and out fast on the tram line.
