    Landlords certificate.

    Are these still a thing? I've been asked to do a couple for someone who rents a few houses out as a side line. I've had a quick loot at the property and from a safety point of view its fine, although its an old and scruffy installation. If I was to do an EICR on it it would probably "fail" on a...

    Unregistered landlords meter swapped by builder

    Hello, we moved in to a new build flat a couple of years ago and after a year or so we realised that the landlords electric meter had run up quite a high number and that we had not been paying for the electric at all. Most of the usage would have been racked up before the first person moved in...

    Landlords own electrical remedial work

    Hope this is ok and also posted in the correct section as this is my first post. As a landlord can I do my own electrical repairs/modifications or is there a legislation that prevents this. I know there is new legislation that requires a safety check every 5 years but is there a specific...

    So AFDD then for all Landlords???

    I was just thinking if NAPIT are coding no RCD on lighting, to comply with the new LL law/S.I. as C2 then presumably we would also have to say absence of AFDD is likewise C2? And how about SPD as well. This surely can't be right, making regs retrospective.

    Landlords EICR and t&e sub mains without RCD

    Hi Guys: Had a call from an old customer, he's bought a flat to rent out & had a Gas fitter in to do safety checks & issue a Landlords certificate. Gas fitter did whatever checks he had to but won't issue the cert as there's apparently no Earth bond to the gas intake. The customer was then told...

    Landlords and amendment 3

    An acquaintance of mine who is a landlord, just emailed me to tell me: One of his properties 'failed' its EICR and requires a new CU. I've asked him to send me the report but it sounds like he is having to have a new CU because the old one is plastic. Now, is that because of the rental status...
