Annual PAT testing - legal requirement?

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

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.
