Hi all,
My 2-bed flat build in 1989 just had an unsatisfactory EICR. It doesn't seem the previous owner has made any upgrades to electrical wiring so the majority of it is most likely quite old. The electrician was recommended by the lettings agency and seems to be fairly new to the market.
EICR failed based on 5 C2 and 2 FI. Now the electrician is offering to do an additional (paid) investigation and provide a quote on the C2 items. I find it suspicious, why wouldn't he investigate when he was there doing the EICR?
Am I being ripped off here? Should I get a new EICR or is it better for another electrician to quote repairs based on the current EICR? Any estiamtion on the cost?
I'm attaching screenshots of the current EICR.
