UK Pricing

[Craighrvy]

Hi all

I'm making steps to get back on the road after being made redundant. Cheers Covid 19
I've priced a job up and the guy says I'm far too expensive.
I've done a fair bit of research so I'm fairly certain I'm at least competitive, just wondered how much people would charge as I've been out of the game for 10 years

Kitchen rewire
New ring circuit
7 double sockets
3 fused spur drops for appliances
2 x cooker circuits
12 downlighters
1 lighting point and switch for wall light
Disconnect old ring and make safe with junction boxes
Add 2 x new mbcs to existing consumer unit

Fair amount of chasing to be done

All works to be inspected, tested and part p notified which I'm going to have to pay a sparks for.

Thanks in advance for the replys

As I've mentioned on this illustrious forum before... it is considered 'normal' practice for indemnity insurance to be taken out by the vendor, regardless of whether or not they have certificates/warranties/inspections etc.

In fact, I was chatting to a client only yesterday about her recent house sale & purchase and her solicitor was almost demanding that she take out the insurance. She had to insist that every single piece of work that she'd ever had done was fully documented and certificated... to avoid paying the paltry insurance premium.

We we moved four years ago the solicitor then took about £15 for an indemnity insurance against such things. I'm surprised that there isn't a company going round looking to monetise this, as it looks like a home run for a few clued up solicitors and an unscrupulousness electrical contractor. There must be millions of homes out there without properly notified work covered by these policies.

Indemnity insurance only indemnified you from legal action, not rectifying works. Time limit for your LBC taking action is two years.
