EICR, would this be an issue?

No before 1st April 1996 as it says Clwyd on the sticker and on 1st April 1996 it reverted back to Flintshire, Denbighshire plus new county of Wrexham.
... but you are assuming that it was not an 'old sticker' which was applied after 1996 :)

I think 440 is used on RN ships, not sure about civvy stuff

I used to see old factories with 440V labels possibly from the 14th edition era?

I also remember one school I used to work on had equipment in the main switch room labelled up as “danger medium voltage”
 
In a side note, does anyone remember which year the nominal voltage was reduced to 230/400?

I remember fitting 240V and 415V warning labels in the 90s but I worked for a firm which was a little bit set in its ways, so whether or not I should have been is a different matter!

If I recall correctly, the Standard harmonising nominal voltage (at 230V) throughout Europe appeared in 1983, but it was not until 1987 that countries started 'adopting' the nominal 230V voltage, but I'm not sure when the UK adopted it.

I think the drop from 250 volt to 240 volt was as the national grid came in, which was completed on 19 December 2008 when Abergeirw a hamlet located in Gwynedd, North Wales, got connected, by which time we were running 230 volt. I can remember Llwyngwril eleven miles south-west of Dolgellau going from 110 volt DC to 240 when national grid was connected, I think around 1960. I think originally water power, as power station next to river, but by time I was visiting the area it was diesel.
 
It's a 4 bed house, 2 bathrooms, kitchen extension. Had a quote for £165.
Based on a recent bad experience - try and find someone recommended and don't just choose off the web. If you are thinking of letting, ask your agent if they have some trusted electricians that they work with.
