Do you need an inspection and testing certificate

[V]

If someone owns a house and is not renting it out but wants to live in it themselves do they by law need an inspection and testing certificate to move in

 

[Octopus]

No. Why would they... there are no mandatory test requirements in England and Wales...

Good point some one I know out of London had work done structure has had it had OK by council didn't ask about electrical cert has asked me I don't do testing that is why I am asking the fruit of knowledge

 

[Andy78]

Are you saying your friend has had some building work done that included electrical work, and no certificate has been provided for the electrical work ?

Was just checking I had come to the right conclusion after adding my own punctuation and a few words here and there to the OP's post.

Why don't people post all the facts rather than tiny snippets

More information is required to answer your question.
First off like Andy mentioned, has there been electrical work carried out that requires notification?
Have they just bought this property? As most selling packages now require a survey of the electrical system so the previous seller may have had to get the inspection done already.

I know what you mean he phoned me asking questions I have never been to the property I just wanted to know a few general answers but it seems more questions are being asked which makes sense different people do it different ways he has contacted an electrician near him can't come after Christmas etc said phone another one, well when I trained if you wanted to do inspection and testing it was 2391 even that has changed anyway thanks for some input

So there HAS been some electrical work done then that hasn't been certified? Daz

 

[HandySparks]

Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside

 

[V]

To be fair V, your OP and subsequent replies have been a bit, well ambiguous?

 

[Octopus]

To be fair V, your OP and subsequent replies have been a bit, well "guarded"

corrected that for you....
