£30k fine for landlords who do not provide a valid EICR for their rental properties

If its a matter of contract and reporting on the present condition then its important to note all defects regardless of whether its been repaired by you. This is where the use of photographic evidence maybe useful, buit probably not as effective as a witness statement.

But then, how many inspectors are going to take a camera and an impartial witness on their inspection rounds?

No, of course not. Competence must now include (as if it wasn't before), honesty and integrity of the inspector.

" Compare this with motorcycles, and bicycles. Many more people are injured and killed using these than are, due to electricity. Why are these not banned, and the resulting lives saved and injury prevented? The has to be a balance in all things, and the balance is probably about right for electricity, if not tending to be excessively careful. "


I suspect the reason for the lack of interest in two wheeled machines are that their function is easily identifiable and understood; not so with the unseen effects of electrical current. It is still a mystery science to the general public that must be handled with care. (lol...so must the general public). I suppose its a little like virus vaccinations and the effects on the human body.......
