Hi All,
Been asked to do a rewire on a private rented property. Apparently the property owner had a few issues with the tennant and the tennant took up issue with the council who subsequentley viewed the property and and the landlord to do extensive upgrades one of which was improvement to the wiring. However they've asked for 2 particular items such as the extractor in the kitchen and also bathroom to be connected by an NICEIC approved contractor. Can the council make these demands on a private property owner or is this just someone at the council end interpretting there own policies for council owned properties? As all other electrical work listed does not have those additional comments albeit they're not in special locations but extensive all the less, hence the landlord decided a rewire from scratch was the way forward. Any thoughts on this as I'm not with any scheme at the moment but fully qualified etc.
Thanks in advance
