[swes]

Hi just a quick one how much if you are not registered on a cps do you have to pay for a building app for domestic installs.i live in cornwall and it currently68 pounds but i heard that some people can pay up to 150 this is all based on job value below £1000

Can easily be more - my local authority charges £202 + vat for work up to £2000 and it goes up from there.

(and they won't inspect or test - they want a EIC/MWC signed by a qualified electrician)

from the limited research I've done into this, our LABC charge £40 +vat if you're a non-registered sparky and will be doing your own I&T and submitting the results.

then send them a nicely worded letter stating that since the cost of I&T will be passed on to them since they cannot insist that the homeowner pay extra for, or is forced to employ their own sparky for I&T..
there's a wiki somewhere with an official letter stating as much.

Are you obliged to use your council's BC dept, or can you use another one, if they are happy to do it?

Yes I know all about that, they don't care.
