  • Anyone got any knowledge of electical certification?!

    A house I'm buying had an EICR result of 'unsatisfactory'. The seller has kindly addressed the failing issues on the EICR and provided an NICEIC installation certificate. My understanding is that that certificate means the electrical work was done in a compliant way (which is great).

    However, I had still wanted to see a passing EICR test, which there appears to be some push back against.
    Does anyone know if this (EICR) is needed, or if the NICEIC certificate would supercede that test.

    edit: possibly important, the failing EICR test that was provided was originally done c. ten years ago.

  • Retesting / new EICR is not needed if the C1s and C2s have been fixed and documented.

    EICRs are not needed at all, as far as I'm aware, unless you are renting the property out.

    That's what I thought.

    Anyway, £1800 later we have a new 2024 certified consumer unit (and some less dodgy wiring).
