Sadly, I believe this is only going to get worse. We regularly see new entrants into the industry obtaining the current (practically worthless) 2391 with no experience at all, for the express purpose of ‘doing landlord certs’. As always, regulation with good intent has produced the unintended and perverse outcome that you are FAR more likely to have work carried out by the incompetent than otherwise.
I doubt that 2391 is a cause. As I recall, there was an excessive rate of failure by “electricians” for 2391, it was considered too difficult to pass/too many failures, hence was watered down to another C & G number, in order to increase the pass rate.
George Orwell and his Animal Farm kicked in. ? We are not all created equal.
