Landlord electrical safety certificate

I have carried out 5 EICRs in the last month for PRS .


All 5 failed or should that be "Unsatisfactory "?


One clocked up a C1 for a missing cover from a bathroom pull switch with conductor strands sticking out of the terminals that could be touched with a raised arm. Before someone asks I made it safe at the time of inspection.


Same premises had an operational limitation, "No inspection or testing inside the consumer unit due to the presence of asbestos". A warning label was applied to the CU indicating the presence of asbestos.


One premises was rewired 5 years ago to a high standard but clocked up a C2 as one of the MK RCDs failed to trip on the instrument tests or the test button. A C3 for a plastic consumer unit installed before January 2016. I don't care where the CU is in the premises it is a non-compliance so. I record it. I am risk averse so why would I not record it? If I don't and something happens the client I am in no doubt would say ," If you had informed me I would have had it replaced". A blatant lie but a good basis for a claim against me. If I report it and something happens they could be up to their eyes in SH 1T for ignoring my recommendation and a basis for an insurance company to refuse a claim. 


Another flat had a limitation for no access to the supply fuse as it was locked in a cupboard and none of my FP keys fitted.
