Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about homebuyer electrical reports
What's included in a homebuyer electrical report?
Our homebuyer electrical report includes a full visual inspection and testing of all accessible electrical installations including the consumer unit, circuits, sockets, switches, lighting, earthing and bonding. You'll receive a comprehensive EICR report detailing the condition of the installation, any defects found, and recommendations for remedial work. The report includes photographs and is accepted by all mortgage lenders and solicitors.
How long does a homebuyer electrical inspection take?
The inspection typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of the property. For a standard 3-bedroom house, expect around 2-3 hours. Larger properties or those with more complex installations may take longer. We'll provide an accurate time estimate when you book based on your property details.
Do I need a homebuyer electrical report?
While not always legally required, a homebuyer electrical report is highly recommended for any property purchase. Many mortgage lenders require one, especially for older properties. It protects you from unexpected electrical repair costs and ensures the property is safe. It's particularly important for properties over 25 years old or those that haven't been rewired recently.
How much does a homebuyer electrical report cost?
The cost depends on the size and type of property. Call us on 01245 526296 for a free quote based on your specific property. We offer competitive fixed-price quotes with no hidden fees.
Can you provide the report quickly for urgent completions?
Yes, we offer same-day and next-day report services for urgent property purchases. Contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to accommodate your completion deadline. Our reports are typically delivered within 24-48 hours of inspection.
What happens if the report finds problems?
If our inspection identifies any issues, they'll be clearly documented in the report with photographs and categorized by urgency (C1 - dangerous, C2 - potentially dangerous, C3 - improvement recommended). You can use this information to negotiate with the seller, request repairs before completion, or budget for the work after purchase. We can also provide quotes for any remedial work needed.
