Electrical Certification

Hi
We are in the process of selling our property. We had work completed under permitted developement.
This was done in 2014.
We cannot find the electrical certificate that was issued, and the electrician has since moved out of area, and we are no longer able to contact him, email or phone or web.
He may even have retired completely.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

If the buyer wants an EICR, they can commission one.

Any suggestions?
You are under no obligation to provide any such documents as part of the sale.
As its 7 years ago the installation certificate will no longer be valid.

We've just arranged for an EICR survey on the house we are purchasing. Costs approx £150 and we are happy to pay to make sure we are aware of any major problems.Debt free date: October 2006 :money:1

Most electricians will try & tell you the property is non-compliance with 18th edition. In reality, if the electrical work was designed 7 years ago, it will be compliant with 17th edition (Amendment 1 or 2) and measured against that.
For example, the need for a Metal Consumer unit was introduced at 17th Edition Amendment 3.
An EICR is what you can do best. The alternative is to check with Planning Portal / Building Control to see if the correct notifications were sent for the work if in say, a Kitchen, Bathroom, or say a Consumer unit change etc.

Your buyer needs to pay and arrange an inspection if they feel the need.1
