No, not in a usual property. The LL has a duty to ensure that the electrics are safe but there is no legal requirement for specific checks.
The rules may be different if the property is an HMO, though.0 -
nope. not a requirement. Gas is though.0

but a LL has a duty of care under Health and Safety legislation and a periodic inspection report (every 10 y ears) is one way to prove responsibility0

Absolute rubbish.I sleep peacefully at night knowing I have [STRIKE]undertaken a forensic examination[/STRIKE] got a wad of cash for doing nothing except plugging an impressive looking meter in the wall and swinging the lead, commonly known as money for old rope.
Fixed that for you. It is not forensic or even anything approaching forensic.0 -
