So come June/July we will have drive by dave doing them for £99.
It's like that around here now with hmo and house buying EICRs.
It sounds good on paper but unless there is a system to check quality it will work until somebody gets hurt.

The legit well known agents will be above board and have no issues with things.
it still wont stop the rogue landlords, Drive by Dave will do his £99 EICR mark it as satisfactory and the landlord has his get out of jail card. Decent landlords wont mind paying the going rate

Completely irrelevant to the subject,maybe next time try and stay on track with everybody else

As the legislation is probable driven by the EU the documentation may follow a similar format, as I said in the post it was for information.

Perhaps you should not let criticism from another thread cloud your judgement.

My judgement of your post remains,the discussion is not helped by linking irrelevance
Try and be more civil with your replies,you are coming over as a person with one big ego

I thought the Mandatory Diagnostic Report from France may be of some relevance, your post re my ego is not, you must be a very sensitive soul, now put your toys back in your pram and move on.

The intention os good, however is drive by dave prepared to be fined or imprisoned for false reporting until that happens they will not be worth the paper that they are written on, only when this happens will people sit up and realize that it is there for their protection not a financial gain for the Sparky.
I bet the Part P agencies are rubbing their hands with the inrush of Drive By Dave's
