EICR follow up

I wonder just how many other inspections this company have carried out to this standard, and how many customers think their installation is in good safe working order when it really isn't.

Quite. Has it been reported to NAPIT? If not, please do so.

They only use this one guy so I requested a refund, which to their credit, they obliged today.

You've still possibly paid over the odds for the property.

Possibly all the ones who didn't have the sense to realise that using an electrical contractor recommended by the seller is a daft idea.

A fair point but I'm leaving it there. I got a refund and will have the test done again for my peace of mind. No desire to take on a company or an electrician that knows where I live.

Hopefully not. Electrics is only one part of the sale and I did expect some upgrade on it. Survey supported the valuation and one since gone up in the street with even older interior, no extension and +£20k.

It wasn't the seller himself who recommended, rather the lettings agent linked to the estate agent. Yes, there was probably a link there and so some naïvety on my part, but I certainly wouldn't have used an electrician recommended direct from seller.

That's an unfortunate "I'm alright jack" attitude. I think it's very likely that this so-called electrician has made a career of fabricating reports, and not only are people being conned out of hundreds of pounds, but some are exposed to real dangers. We've helped you by pointing out the falsehoods. Be a bit public-spirited and help out the other future victims. It would not take long.

So as well as knowing that they are defrauding people and possibly causing people to be exposed to lethal dangers you fear that they are violent thugs?

Oh well, at least the incoming PME supply feeder cable appears to be in a perfect condition.
