Why you should book an electrical inspection on an old property
When you move into a property, it can be easy to presume that it is electrically safe. However, it is not a legal requirement for sellers to provide an electrical safety certificate, so it is strongly recommended to hire a reputable electrician to inspect and test all electrical installations before moving in.
If you are renting, landlords are required to ensure that the electrics are tested every five years by a registered and qualified ‘competent person’.
