Landlords in Shepton Mallet are being reminded by local property management company Stuarts Residential that they have just one week left to ensure that they are compliant with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

Stuart Nash, managing director of Stuarts Residential, said: "These important regulations were introduced over two tiers and we are now fast approaching the deadline of April 1 for the second tier.

"This requires all landlords to have an electrical test and report carried out on the fixed wiring of their rented properties.

"Some private landlords may not be aware of this and they will need to act fast to ensure they comply.

"We have put together an article giving more information and answering some frequently asked questions which landlords may find helpful. Or if they'd like to call us, we'd be happy to answer any questions they may have."
