Bite the bullet and get an EICR doneThe certificate is not required, but as its a rented property I like to know there isn't something lurking in there.

I completely agree and the electrician has been in to do it. My point is should I need to replace all these lights to get a pass when I have never had a problem before.Bite the bullet and get an EICR done
What did the Electrician say on the EICR, did the EICR prove to be a Satisfactory Report? If the Electrician has noted any dicrepencies then as you are the LandLord it's down to you to get them put rightI completely agree and the electrician has been in to do it.

The electrician said he needs to replace all of them before he can issue the certificate so I have no code at this point.
I didn't actually ask for anything. The agent prompted me that it had been 3 years since the last "which ever it is" and suggested organising it again so I am only guessing if its a report or a certificate. I didn't know there were two possibilities.Looks like the electrician or agency the OP has gone through are trying a fast one.
OP: Please clarify. First it wasn't a report and now it is... What did you actually ask the agency for? an EICR?
Get the EICR completed and take it from there Mate, read the Best practice guide I posted to you, you should also talk to your insurance company, to sassertainwhat, legally is required of you, as a LandLord, it does nobody any good walking about with their eyes shut, thingking they have done what is required of them. If you think you have already had an EICR done, let the Forum see a copy, shouldn't be to difficult to scan and post, doing this will enable the Forum to offer any advice that is relevant.I didn't actually ask for anything.
