Exposed: Cash for logos and drive by inspections

Inadequate inspections on the safety of wiring in buildings across England are increasing the risk of fires, E&T has found. A flawed regulatory system has sparked a race to the bottom, with some businesses profiting at the expense of the public’s safety.

  •     so upon the receipt of a copy of an EICR prospective tenants are supposed to assess the risks from the landlord othering a home to let not carrying out recommended improvement work to the electrical installation and then decide if they want to rent the home or not?

    What if it is tenants who have been in the home for some years and want their home improved and also don't want to move, what happens then if the landlord says no and uses the EICR to prove there is not any requirement to carry out the improvement work?

    Of course, none of this should be open to debate because we should have the government guidance the Working Group recommended, but the government failed to follow the recommendations.
