Thanks pc1966Could also be a typing/correction mistake as it is satisfactory by EICR standards (i.e. no significant danger) even if it is not 100% compliant to current regulations.

I really appreciate you took the time James thank you so muchLooking at that, you are on to a winner.
the report says on page 1 that the condition is satisfactory.
that is the important part.
the fact later on in the comments that is says THE PROPERTY IS IN AN UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION AT TIME OF TEST
is a bargaining tool to reduce the price, if nobody looks in to it further then that is the statement i woud go with for the agents and seller.
in all honesty i expect it was a poor attempt by the inspector to get a job changing the fuse box.
in my opinion, that would not be necessary.
However, I would recommend that before purchase, you have your own report done by an electrician you trust.
The details in that report can of course be kept to yourself or shared with the seller depending on what you want to get out of it.
It could be, but a cynic might not agree. Yet another blatant attempt at generating unnecessary work.Could also be a typing/correction mistake as it is satisfactory by EICR standards (i.e. no significant danger) even if it is not 100% compliant to current regulations.
I'm not so sure, after all most of the dodgy ones we see on here have pushed C2 codes on items that most would disagree on (and are not in line with BPG #4 guidance, etc) and then they say it is "unsatisfactory" and offer to fix it.It is an extremely reasonable EICR, but tries to take advantage of the fact that the average layman has no idea how to interpret it.
Yeah the report does seem pretty legit, though there are some discrepancies. On the check sheet 3 x C3's are noted but in the summary only the lack of AFDD & SPD's are mentioned. Since there are no C1's & C2's then the report should read satisfactory, which it does state in the summary section 5, but then goes on to contradict this in section 8 with "unsatisfactory".I'm not so sure, after all most of the dodgy ones we see on here have pushed C2 codes on items that most would disagree on (and are not in line with BPG #4 guidance, etc) and then they say it is "unsatisfactory" and offer to fix it.
My own feeling is either that is a typo in box #8. Or maybe there was some minor aspect (e.g. missing blank in CU) that the sparky just fixed at the time so it is not in the report, even though at the time something needed done?
