The EICR and competence. What are we going to do about the endless problems brought to the forum?

Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?

    The rush is on now for the 1st April deadline for landlords being pestered by their LA and then the 28 day remedial deadline.

    Yes, but the LA has to ask for a copy of the report:


    R.3 para (3): (c)supply a copy of that report to the local housing authority within 7 days of receiving a request in writing for it from that authority


    I don't suppose that any LA will be wanting to collect mountains of EICRs.


    What seems much more likely is that a tenant who had concerns about the report, or the state of the wiring, would seek the assistance of the LA.


    Looking at my LA's web site just now revealed nothing on electrical safety, but there is a section on badgers. ?
