So basically you are agreeing with what most replies have said, not actually "correcting" anyone

It's not a legal requirement to have an electrical safety certificate unless you're letting a HMO.0

yes I am correcting- the context and implication are incorrect.
The clear implication is that there is no legal obligation, which is wrong.
There is a clear legal obligation, several in fact, under different parts of legislation.
The OP wants a simple answer "do I need one or not" and the simple (risk free) answer is yes.
But given the unique situation of every property, that cannot be prescriptively legislated for and therefore the OP or his advisor msut explain that if they don't want a simple answer, then the legislation and guidance allows for judgement, as posted above.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0
