EICR Codes help for new Landlord.

Hi. I hope you are all well and keeping busy in these strange times. I look after a ladies house who has had to move back abroad and now needs to let the property out and so she has had an EICR done which has come back with saying it needs a total rewire for few grand. 


What I want to know is can I ask info on here about the codes he has put and if reasonable.


I don't won't to upset anyone by second guessing another trades persons work but I would like an idea if this is right or not?


Thanks you


Regards Lee

    I think that has come out OK, apart from a lot of zooming in and out to read it.

    Some questions to set the scene correctly

    No CPC ("earth wire") in the lights suggests a late 1960s installation or earlier - is that true ?

    No earth to gas pipes also suggest an old installation, as it has been a requirement for a long time.

    Have there been many additions over the years?

    I presume it is an old hot wire type fuse board, rather than circuit breakers?

    When was it last inspected, and what did that report say, if you have it available ?

    Edit

    - not until we have rather more info is it sensible to decide how much really needs re-wiring

    or if a bit of a refresh of parts of the installation is all that is needed.
