I rent out a couple of small properties (one two bed and one three bed house).
One of the properties electric check is nearly five years old so needs doing soon.
Please could somone advise, I understand that the regs have changed since the last check.
Previously, if I recall corectly the electrician checked:-
polarity throughout, earth loop impedance, insulation resistance,consumer unit, signs of overloading anywhere and opened up a few light switches and sockets.
Things have now changed? Is there now a specific test please and if so what is checked? I have been told that the paperwork now costs £60.
I have a fair understanding of electrics as I worked in the ESI all my life..now retired.
Also could sombody point me where to look for this info please
Thanks
