Our first property - seller says CU is older than 2005 - no cert required

[Benuk]

Hi all

We're moving in to our first property - it's a 1950's build. The house has been bought buy a property developer who bought it from the previous owner so that they could purchase a new build (part ex).

We had a survey done recently and one of the things that has come up is the lack of any kind of electrical certificate for the consumer unit. The property developer's solicitors have said that the previous owner had not had any electrical work done since they moved in (pre 2005) and as such a certificate was not required.

Fortunately I had the foresight to take some photos of it whilst I was there and to me it certainly looks newer than something that would have been installed 13-odd years ago. It is a split load MK CU with RCD etc. It's a metal box which as far as I'm aware is a recent requirement (17th edition?) and may not have even been available pre-2005. I've attached a couple of pictures to this email.

In my opinion some DIY'er or whoever has installed this unit without being qualified and obviously not able to supply a cert. But that's just my opinion - any help on identifying the year of this model would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

For a self proclaimed patriotic Polish/Englander,do you realise you are being self defacing
So many immigrants from Poland have settled here (especially in the fifties) that a dilution of that Polish blood is probably a factor in our women being naturally powerful matriarchs in a typical Welsh household

The men need never to demonstrate their toughness to these women
The Welsh women can see that masculinity for themselves,especially when our lads destroy the Rugby manhood of a nation that boasts a 20 -1 superiority ratio in numbers

Who cares about egg chasers?!

Looking forward to the World Cup over there? Maybe not so much!

Agreed,it seems much of the very important messaging that needed the best of security was conveyed in Welsh in both world wars

I hope England win "in" the world cup
After all one win is possible,unlikely but still its possible

After seeing them defeated for 50 years against the top boys it tends to get a little monotonous

I could never tire of watching the England football team get shafted.

Sexism, xenophobia and now sporting rivalries. What was the question?

I knew some Polish Dentist who moved to Swansea years back and said he loved the place (he was always a bit odd) the residents loved him, young, pretty wife and a fantastic forward thinking dentist and I think his practice expanded really quickly.
