I have a customer with elderly parents who have recently moved into a care home and now their house is being sold. It's an ex Council House.
Somewhere along the long winded selling process the buyers Solicitor has picked up that a new electric shower circuit was installed in 2013 [Nothing to do with me] and there is no certification or Part P notification. The elderly people 'can't remember' who did the job.
I had a quick look and it seems fine and fed via a 1990s MK board, RCD protected with a 40a MCB. [I'd say this board was installed as part of a rewiring programme when the house was still Council owned].
The solicitor wants verification that this circuit only is safe, not interested in the rest of the install ! So I think I'll have to do an EICR just for this one circuit with agreed Limitations, seems a bit like a sledgehammer to crack a nut ! But it's crossed my mind whether I could do a Minor Works with the individual circuit I&T as the job description - it would have the necessary test results but wouldn't be 6 pages long !
I'm sure many of you will disagree but thoughts and opinions are most welcome.
