    As far as I can see, the BS 7671 regulations is a design document that suggests periodic upgrading might take place but is not imperative because the guidance is not retrospective to earlier editions.

    I suspect that landlord inspections will be or is indeed implied in the building control regulations already. As we know this is a statutory document and not purely a gentleman's agreement as with BS7671.

    Now we might ask, why was it necessary to introduce this 'legislation' to control the quality of electrical installations in tenented properties?
