Why a Pre-Purchase Electrical Check Is Essential
If you’re buying a property in Kingswood, don’t skip the electrics. A pre-purchase electrical check—also known as a Homebuyer’s EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)—helps you understand the safety and condition of the home’s wiring, fuse board, sockets, and more.
What Does an Electrical Survey Include?
- Visual and in-depth inspection of wiring, sockets, and switches
- Consumer unit (fuse board) safety and compliance checks
- Testing of earthing and bonding systems
- Assessment of electrical wear, damage, or outdated installations
- Full written report highlighting observations and recommended actions
This report can be a strong negotiation tool with sellers—or help you budget for essential upgrades after moving in.
