Electrical Installation Condition Report?

Posts: 1 Newbie
We are very close to exchanging for the purchase of our first house. Today, out of the blue, our solicitor has forwarded over a copy of an electrical report that they have received from the vendors solicitor.
We had not requested it, nothing was picked up on our survey re electrics and our solicitor has never mentioned it as something they have requested. Is this a standard thing vendors have to provide?
Seems odd that it has turned up now. The report was completed 8 days ago and suggests that there is no remedial work required, a couple of recommended upgrades but a couple of things noted as 'Further investigation required without delay'
Any thoughts?

We got the same along with the gas safety cert which we were expecting. Our solicitor asked them for it and they supplied it. Looked from the dates as if they got it done before they were asked. It's a good thing to have info rather than no info. Certainly did not worry me.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...
