Why do you need it? Are you selling or are you concerned about it’s safety? Or something else?
It won’t be up to the latest standard but that doesn’t mean it needs replacing.
That report sounds like they’ve identified some minor issues but personally (IANAE) unless I was worried about safety for some specific reason I would ignore it.
I think there are EICRs and EICRs - the quick type landlords do just take a sample of sockets/switches, and the full one you might want for peace of mind in a newly purchased old house.
As someone said above, it’s the replacing things that gets £££.
Full test of 3 bed house in the sticks: £300+VAT (I paid)
£360+VAT (second quote)
See attached for a third price list I was given, I rejected on the basis it would be a spot check not a full check.Big s

Thanks both. Sounds like fun. :(
We only have a simple 1BR so it shouldn't be crazy but it seemed that 70 quid per circuit for some testing was a bit high (obviously with me not having a clue of what they actually do).
