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

    Looks like you have been codebreakered.  It may be more cost effective to have another EICR.


    It takes far less knowledge and experience to Report and  arbitrarily condemn everything, than to accurately Report on the condition of an installation. The former will be cheap, short term gain long term pain, the latter, a fair cost to do it properly and honestly and if remedial action required, the most likely method is not a whole new install.
