Landlords electrical safety need advice

We are renting out our old house for the 1st time as have been unable to sell it. We lived in it for 7 years

We had a company in to do a gas and electrical safety check. The only area that failed on the electrics was the flex to the boiler so I will get it fixed. However the certificate advised a periodical electrical check as the wiring is old and has rubber cable in some areas BUT this didn't cause a fail on the electrical safety check.

Does anyone know the legal position? I understand a periodical check isn't a legal requirement. Just worried if we don't have it done and it was advised what position we'd be in incase of an incident.

Any advice appreciated
thanks

I think you need an annual check. There are plenty of Landlords forums that can help you out on this one.
