Hi,
I'm in the process of buying a house at the moment and there's a query over the consumer unit. It's a Wylex NHISS10SL - photo below.
The issue is that the seller can't produce a Building Regs compliance certificate for it. He claims that it was installed prior to 1st Jan 2005, in which case there would have been no requirement to register it, but he can't produce a receipt or invoice confirming the installation date either. There's no sticker or anything on the unit itself showing the installation date.
A number of other renovations were done in the house around 2008, so I suspect the consumer unit was done at the same time and the work was never notified.
I've contacted Wylex to ask when this model of consumer unit was launched, but they haven't replied.
If anyone here is familiar with this model of consumer unit and can tell me whether (a) it was on the market prior to 01-01-2015 so could have been installed before that date, or (b) it came onto the market after 01-01-2015 and the seller is telling me fibs, I'd be really grateful for the advice.
Thanks!
