Dazza 1981 I've not given any advice the only reason I brought it up is because a friend of mine is in insurance and he was telling me they didn't pay out on a claim because the electrical install was below standards and no test certs etc could be provided to prove they were okay! So I was asking the question what people thought about it, what might become compulsory in the very near future
I don't think an insurance company can make it compulsory they may make it a requirement for insurance, would you care to tell us what was so below standard on the install your friend mentions as it all sounds a bit hypothetical and testing the water for an insurance company to sign you up to an annual inspection scheme
I think its a smashing idea, say some form of Condition Report every five years mandatory or risk the wrath of the insurance man. Unsatisfactory result incurs a higher insurance premium, satisfactory results in a lower one. Its gonna happen eventually.
