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

    There is a competent person scheme for rentals i believe.  I can't remember what it's called though.  :)

    The codes aren’t referenced to anything and the whole point of the NAPIT Codebreakers is to do exactly that.



    So there is no point to them?

    No one is asking anyone to produce a "satisfactory report". It is not a certificate of anything. It is just Agent speak dictating standards. Is that what you all want?  If so, then ARLA should start a Competent Persons Scheme for EICR for rental. That should be fun.

    Ridiculous codes although i suspect the conclusion of a rewire is probably correct if it's anything like most of the places i look at that are that age with original fixtures and fittings.  It is just not worth trying to repair anything and you certainly can't add on to it.    There are always hidden horrors and you just can't price to do anything except rewire.  I would not put my name to a satisfactory report on a 50+ year old domestic installation.  Individually things may me ok but as an entire installation it needs sorting out.

    I would like to see the “exposed cables” coded C2 to see what they are and how they are installed.

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

    It contains the NAPIT membership number as part of the serial number, so could possibly be used to identify the person who issued the number.


    When you photograph the schedule on a phone you can scribble it out by clicking the pen on the edit menu and using your finger as the pen.

    if in doubt put your thumb over it before scanning in.... it may be a scheme membership no.

    Hi all. Thanks for your replies and advice.


    I can see on the schedule there is a long number on top right, will this reveal who the engineer is at all? I don't want to reveal any ones name.


    Thanks
