Electrical Testing, Inspection and Certification
If you are a landlord with rental properties, you are obliged to provide a duty of care and to provide a safe environment and property for your tenants to live in. This requires you to carry out a Electrical Installation Condition Report every 5 years or change of tenant, ensuring the property is in a fit state and that the electrical installations are safe and meet the required British standards.
What is a electrical safety test ?
This is a series of inspections and tests of the electrical installation, which does not include electrical appliances. It is recommended that appliances are also checked for safety, however it is not a requirement of the legislation but it is a recommendation.
House Inspections and Surveys
If you are considering purchasing a new home, you need to be aware of the condition of the property and if there are any potential issues you need to know about. A survey is highly recommended before any purchase so you are not hit with any unexpected costs after you have moved into your property. This will offer you peace of mind that your electrical installations are safe and have not been damaged by any previous DIY work. RDS Electrical offer pre purchase house surveys (electrical installation condition report) to inform you of the exact condition of the electrics in any property.
