No installation certificate

[SouthernComfort]

Hi All,

HI Folks, sorry to be a bother. Looking for some advice.

I brought a house around two years in South Wales, and used a spark to do the rewiring etc.

I'm now looking at selling it, but can't find the installation paperwork anywhere. I was rather ill around a year ago, so I'm not even sure I had any!

I've been told by some friends I should of got a "Installation Certificate", and that it should of been registered with Part P or something?

Anyway, I can't get hold of the spark and don't have his details anymore. I only found him as he posted a flyer though the door, and he seemed really hard working.

I phoned a local NICEIC spark who's coming to do a "Periodic inspection?" Which he said was the next best thing.

Now as I don't have the details, and stupidly paid in cash. Should I tell the Local Building Control, or just get on with it selling it and give the solicitors the periodic?

Obviously providing there are no problems on it.


Thank you in advance,


Steve.

So all,

Quick update.......

Had a NAPIT registered tester come out to do the PIR......

Must of been here an hour tops. Opened up two light switches, a socket, and opened the consumer unit!

Had to ask him if I needed to unplug appliances, electronics etc.

And didn't even want to go in the loft!

It's a crime that people like these get away with this! £120 and i've got a PIR that I know is nonsense but keeps the solicitors happy!

£120 an hour, how cool is that, means the EICR I did on a 3 bed terrace today should be £480 ;-)

Crumbs, I'm a Napit member and would struggle to get below 50% inspection on a property i did not know the history of, i.e. no previous docs. BTW the Fastest software has been out for a few months now so i am using the new forms and have been since Jan, surprised others are using out of date and no longer BS forms - shocking truly shocking

Hum, did you get a EICR or a visual inspection.

The EICR should contain one sheet with a list of all your circuits on it and the results of the tests implemented.

May I suggest you don't pay any bill until you receive the written report? or is it too late?
