Testing a property forsale

[ben2012]

I've been asked to carry out a test for my sister in law, they need it so that they can sell the house. Am I right in assuming that I just need to carry out an EICR? Do they require anything more than this? I'm NIC DI approved but this doesn't cover EICR's so didn't know if I would have to be fully approved to do it. Thanks

You have to be competent to do it. Are you ?

Andy78s pointed you to the crux of it. The NIC have nothing to do with it!!

We'll I've got my level 3 nvq, 17th edition and 2394/95 so I'd say so! It's more that I wondered if their was more to them than a standard EICR that's all

You sound perfectly qualified to be carrying out this work. Perform a EICR as per BS7671. The NICEIC have nowt to do with this.

As above. Just dont put on the cert that the vendor of the property is your sister in-law, may get picked up by thier solicitor lol.

 

[telectrix]

and don't sign it mickey mouse. that's for landlords drive by certs.

They do sometimes insist on a NIC EICR cert though, if this is the case tell em to naff off.

If an on-line NICEIC cert is required you have to gain contractor status i.e. part with dosh.
You cannot access the EICR form on-line as a Domestic Installer.
Hope this helps.
