Hi Guys and possibly Girls? I hope you can help. I have employed an electrician to carry out a electrical report on my property prior to sale. It seems that some estates agents are suggesting a full report now rather than just an energy efficiency report. I would prefer to know that the property is in A1 condition electrically before selling it on to another party, so I am happy to cover the cost.
The electrician has carried out a thorough report with which I am really happy with and I am happy to pay for his time to rectify any problems he has found. He explained to me about the classifications and there are a number of 3’s that he can resolve at little cost. The biggest issue is a 2 which is a short between the Neutral and earth wire on the downstairs lighting circuit, he says it can sometimes be difficult and time consuming to resolve but he has explained to me the process that he will use to find it. Which I think I understand?!
Anyway he tried to explain to me what the safety implications were if this was left as it is and that he couldn’t pass the house as safe with it as it is. But I don’t really understand and we seem to be on a different wavelength if you know what I mean? Can someone put it in layman’s terms to explain to me, what could potentially happen if it was left as it is? I have no intention of cutting corners and leaving it as it is but would like to fully understand the potential of the problem.
I am a bit technical but don’t get too heavy on me!!!!
Regards
Tony
