    Who told you this?

    they might (in my experience they did not) ask for a periodic inspection report.

    The fact that an installation does not comply with the current standards does not mean there is anything wrong with it.

    The standard for electrical work in the regulation is ‘good repair and safe working order’. There is no requirement to comply with the latest standard that I know of

    not all electricians are interested in doing inspection work.

    The electrician who came here as the place had been empty years and inspection is mandatory after I think two years, does these inspections all the time for the council as this is council owned. Fitted smoke and co2 alarms etc .

    Thanks all. It'll be interesting to ee what the inspection actually shows then. They'll tell me what I actually need to do rather than a spark giving an opinion.

    Exactly. A bit like the NCT. Don’t fix it until they tell you it’s broken.

    For the record, I was inspected in late 2017. I totally ignored the report. They came back to check the progress earlier this year nearly 4 years later. No work done. I was issued with a copy of the report and a warning that I could be issued with a prohibition order. Again I binned it. I haven’t heard anything from them yet and I don’t really care because I finally succeeded in getting my tenant out and I’m selling up.

    I’m not saying you should do what I did but if they issue a prohibition order they will be shooting themselves in the foot because they’ll need to find ‘their’ hap tenant a new house. How quickly do you think that will happen.

    Particularly when I'm in Donegal with a pending rental crisis due to Mica. I can't imagine they'll be too keen on trying to get a HAP tenant family of 4 rehoused.


    That said, whatever they ask me to do, I will do it.

    yep same thing happened to us on a Fingal inspection: Filtered hood but no outside ventilation though there is a window in a small kitchen. Solution got hole bored in wall and a bathroom type extractor fan fitted. Sorted thought the tenant himself admits he never uses it!!
