Pricing For EICR

[Emm Eff]

I notice that a major energy company is offering the EICR for Landlords. It's priced at £129. It's saying price varies depending on bedroom number and location, and it's also stating that they test a sample of circuits.

1. Isn't this too cheap, considering the work involved?
2. Should they really be sampling a house? Surely they should test and inspect the whole installation if it's that small?

I've not settled on my pricing yet, but I'm not sure I could make money at that price point and do the job properly.

£20 a circuit

Not a bad rule of thumb, a minimum of 6 circuits I assume? £120 minimum price (seems to be how the company above have priced it).

depends what you think you can get away with lol

Just thinking if it had 2 circuits then £40 might barely cover the fuel!

Also depends on where you are based. Location matters!

Can't go wrong with an hourly rate, which could possibly be worked out by circuit numbers, £120 has got to be the minimum I'd say.

Was just chatting in the other thread there regarding taking a full day for the EICR in order to do it right. I couldn't make money at £120 for a full shift (it'd be less hassle just working for someone).

For what size property with how many circuits?

if its local £20 a circuit if its not worth your while put a silly price in so you don't get it and if you do bingo
