  • If it had been down properly this time it may well have cost many landlords a thousand pounds, but next time the five year reinspection would be a quick in and out to confirm that the installation matches the condition recorded on the previous report with there being records available, so the reinspection could actually be done in a hour or so.

    But as it is virtually every property will need a full and detailed inspection and testing within five years from now and upgrades if it's now decided that actually more RCDs should have been installed. Not all the problems have gone away, they are still there in installations that are being used daily.
