Elec test cert - Is it really required to sell a house?
Discussion
I’m in the process of selling my property and the solicitor acting for the purchasers are requesting an electrical test certificate. I must outline that the property was built in the 1970’s.
I assume that the request has come from the fact the owners before me converted the garage into a TV room/ office. These work were done in 2010, prior to us moving in during 2012.
As you can imagine, I don’t have the original test certificate. Would I be required to have it retested?? I don’t believe it’s a requirement of the buy/ sale process. I could really do without shelling out for the test, £400 could go towards something else like a new bean to cup coffee machine for the new man cave
