I might be in the market for buying a property in which the electrics have been updated at different times over the last 4 years, including some circuits with the new colour coded cable. Whilst everying thing I have checked seems to be installed very well and connected correctly (which is almost every socket, fitting, consumer unit, earth bonding, etc.), there is no certfication for any of the work. If I sell the property, I would like to get the whole lot tested and certified.
Apart from anything else, it will provide a starting point for any subsequent modification work, as if I get an electrician to fit, say, a new circuit in the kitchen, then (unless I'm mistaken) he can only certify the work he's done, leaving the existing circuitry uncertified.
How do I go about getting the whole lot tested, inspected, and certified?
