Hello all,
Having a bit of a dilemna at the moment. We're selling our house (2 bed terrace) just now, or rather have sold it, subject to contract. It was rewired about 5 years ago, we haven't got certificates for it, back then I don't think I understood that we should get any. I know better now. As far as I know it was done properly, he was a qualified electrician, and it has been worked on since with no sharp intakes of breath.
Now we are completing documents for our solicitor which include questions about whether it has been rewired and to supply completion certificates etc. I told the buyers it has been rewired, as it has. Solicitor says an indemnity will suffice, but I don't want the buyers, or their mortgage company, getting worried that the place is a death trap.
So what to do? Do I get an electrical installation safety certificate and hope that will be enough to satisfy everyone? Should it? Have I got a bigger problem?
Thanks for reading.
Here's a photo of the consumer unit if it's of any use...
