I wonder if anybody can confirm if this is correct...
A friend is looking at renting out a domestic property and has been told that he needs to get a electric safety certificate - presumably a landlords certificate.
He therefore got an electrician to carry out a check, and was told the following.
The wiring is 30-40 years old but the consumer unit is virtually new.
This is the but he can't understand, the electrician has told him he cannot pass the electrics because of the new consumer unit, but he would have done if the old consumer unit had not been replaced.
Why is this?
Thanks
Shaun
