kesm Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi all, The estate agency I am dealing with told me the following: We require all properties to undergo a check on wiring and major appliances every five years plus annual PAT testing on small appliances plugs and sockets. Is the above a legal requirement? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 No, there is no legal requirement for PAT testing. Many lettings agents however require formal electrical checks carried out to ensure electrical installations and equipment are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grampa Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 As a landlord (unless a HMO) you legally dont need to at present. But it is good practise to get your property to at least once have a 5 year test done because any kind of bodges could have been done by previous occupiers.
