How much should a typical 3 bed house cost to have an electrical periodic inspection carried out?

First of all 拢300 + vat is ( in my opinion ) way over the top.


My company charges 拢180 + vat for an average 3 bed house but it also may depend on the number of circuits you have.


Secondly you do not have to have the electrics tested every year.


A domestic certificate lasts 10 years or less ( on the opinion of the tester this may be less ) maybe 5 years, or there is a change of ownership or change of tenant.


This is to make sure that the new owner or tenant has a safe installation when taking up residence.


I do not know the circumstances of the leasehold or whether the local authority insists on a test every year but it seems a bit extreme.


If you supply Portable Appliances ( fridge, kettle, microwave etc etc) then these must be tested yearly.


I hope this clarifies the issueHow much should a typical 3 bed house cost to have an electrical periodic inspection carried out?
I own a 3 bed semi that I rent out and as a landlord have to have an annual electrical inspection carried out. I would imagine this would be the same kind of testing that you would have undertaken as a domestic client and the cost is around 拢300 + VAT.How much should a typical 3 bed house cost to have an electrical periodic inspection carried out?
where?


china?


Antarctic?


Australia?


the cost will depend on where you are
As you are posting in the UK I'll make the wild assumption you mean the UK. Obviously a leap into danger that ';Idontlike_id'; isn't prepared to take.





about 拢200 or less or you want a written report. If you want sparky to give it the once over, about 拢50
Should take no more than 3 hours, and cost about 拢120.00 +/- regional differences.
