Hi.
Hoping for some advise.
I am in the process of buying a 1975 house. The house is modern and well looked after.
Now, the last EICR was 15 years ago, notes on that are 'installation of new board, upgrade of incoming tails and earth (cpc), adjust circuit in kitchen and install new supply to cooker'
I was looking to get another one done prior to completing purchase, however sellers are unhappy to allow access. They have a legitimate reason relating to a family member being hospitalised with cancer and are understandably concerned about having someone in the house and the associated risks when they are frequently visiting the hospital. I might add, I do know this to be true.
I really appreciate their position but it has left me feeling very uneasy. Is completing without getting an EICR done a silly risk to take?
