i seem to recall that before you lease a property the consumer unit must be in line with current regs,anybody heard this and if so has this one been upgraded.

Nope not heard of that.

See Des's post above.

There is no law regarding electrical installations in rented properties, although there is a duty of care, which can be translated into all sorts.
 
Sounds like the best thing to do, is get a grip of your landlord, after printing off all these posts above, tell him to put you up in a 5 star hotel, while he rewires the place and shows you a valid electrical test certificate, that place you are in mate is a death trap, if as you state you have no earth cpc anywhere.
 
Hi Des. Thanks. Some very good points. I understand about the legislation and landlords responsibilities. Hence my question at the beginning was am I safe?

One of my concerns is these metal power sockets with plastic bits at the holes. Are they ok to use?

Can someone tell me when 16th changed to 17th please?
I'm sure it was July 2008
