EICR Valid?

I am moving next week but the problem is the tenancy agreement and dodgy landlords trying to suggest I am making up problems. I followed advice from shelter and the electrician they used to do the EICR did not come up as being  able to do inspections on the electrical comptetent person checker (https://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/Search). Concerned, I told them I would rather stick to the British Gas for the electrics. They told me I was being inappropriate for this and then the electrician rang me up, shouting at me and telling me I made him uncomfortable for wanting to check his qualifications - he even called me a 'pain in the ***' despite me being well in my rights to check these things.


I am just trying to make sure the flat is safe. I have had nothing but problems from these landlords and I only wanted to leave them after they left me several days with a hob that would not turn off, and that was the final straw. Bare in mind, its a month later and the replacement hob still does not work either as the back two rings will not turn on at all. The day I moved in the hot water tank had gone in the kitchen (Clearly not been checked in between swapping tenants), took them 28 days to fix it. Similarly, the washer machine/dryer had stopped getting hot (again not checked in between tenants) and was filled with mould in the door seal, tray - everywhere. Cupboards are falling apart, wooden flooring coming disconnected - some pieces even move if you stand on them, carpet is thread bare, drains are blocked (saw a centipede crawl out my bathroom sink the other day), fire door is not functional - the list goes on. They refuse to fix any of it. They also kept violating my rights and sending their handyman round to eventually fix some things without warning. They even gave him a key so he could just walk in!


Then they wonder why I want to leave and keep trying to spin things and imply I have somehow conjured these problems up because I am 'unhappy'. It took them weeks to finally give me a number to call over my electrics. Weeks!
