NICEIC Certification Scheme Certificate issued no inspection

[loz2754]

Now I'm getting confused.

Tenant moved in last April. No need to have been issued a copy of an EICR as the new regulations not in force till June 2020.
Skip forward to January 2021...
Tenant somehow knows an EICR has been issued (but with no electrician having been inside the property), knows the date of the EICR, but does not have a copy of it.

What am I missing?

Am I missing something here OP knows the date of the report but doesn't have a copy

Ah missed post#14 so OP is an existing tenant (since April 20) so should get report within 28 days of test date..... 3.Jan 21.

My apologies. I asked my landlord about the certificate. He told me that he has one dated jan 3rd and told me who issued it. I found it odd that the certificate was issued without an inspection. I have messaged the electrician but he has not responded. I was not aware that my landlord has a duty to supply a copy of the report. I also have a friend who does electrical work but not niceic registered and he suggested I spoke to someone who knows the correct procedure. I am just asking your opinions as you guys will know what the best course of action would be. Thanks

Ok thanks for this.
So as an existing tenant, you have the right to receive a copy of the existing report that was done before you moved in, within 28 days of asking for it. The date on the report cannot be changed to a later date if a later inspection has not taken place.
The date on the report cannot be changed in any circumstances, as it reflects the condition of the electrical installation on the day it was carried out.

Ok thanks that makes sense. I will attain a copy of the new certificate then contact the electrician to ask him how he has issued a certificate without an inspection and let you know his response if I get one. Thank you for your time. Regards
