Electrical report on survey

This was flagged up on our survey. What are people's thoughts. It seems a new unit was added last year. Would it be silly to proceed without an EICR. I know an electrician wouldn't have checked the whole house wiring when adding a unit but it must be a good sign?

Everything in that reprts suggests the electrical system is in good condition.The surveyor however, is pointing out that a) he's not a qualified elecrician, and b) he could not see all the wiring and c) he did not undertake electrical tests.So it's up to you whether to follow his ultra-cautios advice and pay an electrician for a EICReport.I wouldn't bother, but the choice and risk is yours.1

If there was a new consumer unit in 2019 there won't be a 10-year EICR done until 2029.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.1

Thanks for your thoughts. I feel similar, it appears that it is fine and although that is obviously not a full report I think I will leave a specialist report0
