Hey,
An EICR was under taken again on property.
Insulation Resistance results on at 500V. All results in Mega Ohms
LIGHTING L-N 34.80, L-E 2.05, N-E 33
LIGHTING L-N 2.47, L-E 2.97, N-E 2.81
UP POWER L-N 78, L-E 72, E-L 69
DOWN SOCKETS L-N 16.30, L-E 15.41 N-E 44.43

Everything unplugged and all lamps taken out
I am concerned about both lighting circuits and down sockets.
What would cause such readings? And what do i put down on cert? Code 3? or Note?

Any help/advice would be much appreciated :)
