Electrical Condition Report

Posts: 10 Forumite
Hello,
My buyers have asked to send their electrician round to carry out an electrical check. (I have a 1980's semi with no new electrical installations).
Their electrician had said that they will not allow me (the owner) to see the report as I am not the one paying for it.
Because of this I have said that I will get an electrician to carry out the electrical report so that way I can see the report. My Estate Agent is waiting to hear back from my buyers if they are happy with this.
One thing I am unsure of which I hope someone can help me with is that I thought that if an electrical check was carried out on a property then the electrical check belonged to the property, rather than to the person who paid for the electrical check to be done. Am I wrong in thinking this? Can anyone clarify?
Many thanks
SB

Yes, you are wrong. It belongs o the person who paid for it.
Why on earth are you offering to pay for this? You don't want the inspection - the buyer does!
If the buyer later claims there is a problem, and wants to re-negotiate price, then ask to see his report before you will negotiate.0 -
Many thanks for your advice G_M.
