Can you be taken to court for an EICR by a house purchaser 13 months after EICR was issued, house purchaser has had there own report done 13 months after original was issued. House purchasers EICR was a more detailed one done over 20 hours costing £600. I think this report is incorrect after reading it. House purchaser had there own EICR carried out due to some problems he was having with his electrics about 8 months after original report was done, down stairs lights started tripping and porch lights didnt work, Purchaser has had quote done for repairs which is estimated at about £7500.for repairs , most of which is not even covered by his own 20 hour EICR. House purchaser is now trying to sue . Original report was carried out by the vender.
