FAQ

What is a homebuyers electrical test?

An assessment of the safety and condition of the electrical installation within a building or property. The report will indicate whether the installation meets the current electrical safety standards, and whether it is safe to use. Defects or potential issues with the electrical installation will be identified and recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades will be provided.

Benefits a homebuyers electrical test?

The purpose of a home buyer's electrical test is to provide peace of mind to the buyer that the electrical installation is safe, and to identify any potential safety hazards or defects that may require attention. The report can also help the buyer negotiate any necessary repairs or upgrades with the seller before finalising the purchase.

How long does a homebuyers test take?

For domestic properties with a relatively simple electrical installation, the test should take only a few hours to complete.

What happens during the test?

During the inspection, the electrician or electrical engineer will need to test all of the circuits and electrical fixtures in the building, including switches, sockets, and light fittings. They will also need to inspect the consumer unit (fuse box) and the wiring throughout the property. The inspection will include visual checks, as well as testing using specialist equipment, such as multimeters, insulation testers, and earth loop impedance testers.

How much does a homebuyers electrical test cost?

The cost of an electrical test can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the property, the complexity of the electrical system, the location of the property, and the qualifications and experience of the electrician carrying out the inspection.

On average, the cost can range from £100 to £300 for a standard domestic property in the UK. However, larger or more complex properties, such as commercial or industrial buildings, can cost significantly more.

It's important to note that the cost of the test should not be the only factor you consider when choosing an electrician to carry out the inspection. It's essential to choose a qualified and experienced electrician who can provide a thorough and accurate report to ensure the safety of your electrical system.
