Landlords should ensure that the electrical installation (fixed wiring, etc) is safe to use. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires landlords to ensure the electrical installation is safe when the tenancy begins, and that it is maintained in a safe condition throughout that tenancy.
In order to comply with this requirement it is recommended that the electrical installation is fully inspected on a 5 yearly basis by a qualified electrician to ensure that the electrical system complies with current electrical regulations and is in a safe condition.
