Emailing certificates

[BELEC]

Hi all . Thought id ask here as i get a quicker reply.

Does anyone email test certificate over to their clients / landlords or do our bodies want everything hand signed and in paper?

I usually print my own test certs with my logo and napit logo.

The situation is i do some work for a landlord who has properties all over the uk, (minor works / periodic's and ei certs) and if im honest its a lot quicker for me to email a copy along with invoicing / photos etc. As to printing one signing and then posting.

Thanks - barry

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating this as a preferred way of working.

I don't know about the 'fabric of building' issue that you refer to, so won't comment further on that. But I do come back to my original point that nothing is worth anything until it's paid for. The notification to LBA that you quote requires ME to pay them Money. That's why when I do a quote there is ALWAYS a single line item for issue of certificates and notification (£4.50 + VAT if anyone wants to know).

Therefore, it becomes part of contract UPON PAYMENT.

And you're right, no home owner is going to invite you in to plunge them into darkness, but that's why it's an interesting hypothetical point.

Someone is bound to start talking about H&S and EAWR and why I'm wrong...... My question to them is what do they think the 'W' stands for?
