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

Legh Richardson
Is this actually true or is it some estate agent cashing in on lost income?

The reason why I ask, what appears to be a daft question, is that a friend has just received notification from the estate agent who sold the property 15 years ago that their property, which is now being rented, must be inspected and tested for compliance to 18th ed. Not that I was unaware of this requirement!

I just thought the £30k punishment for disobedience was a little steep. Or maybe  'bribery and corruption' or  'threatening behaviour' was the new Inspection and testing idiom.?

    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.


    Motorcycles eh? By themselves they are not dangerous. It is the rider that can be the cause of danger. Correctly used and maintained they are reasonably safe until driven into, where the user has little protection compared to a car with its crash zones and air bags.
