Banes council are actually cracking down on hmo standards. As they all come up for relicensing they are looking at the previous eicr and then the new one. Any major differences are being queried. Somebody in the council knows the basics it seems. Also the fire brigade are being very strict on the fire alarm systems. Fire doors etc..Fair do's for that, Gav. If you want the work, I hope you get it, at a fair price, of course. I just hope you're lucky with the landlord and she realises what's involved and is prepared to pay for it.
As you know, lots of landlords involved couldn't care less and just want something with a logo and signature....so they can get the cash coming in.
We had some remedials at a very high class golf club, with some very famous members, after a T+I by a major, nationally known company. They did the absolute minimum and really made a pig's ear of it. All seventy odd pages were put together very professionally.....probably by an accounts clerk.
I have been told by other landlord that the case officers have on the quiet suggested decent electricians for eicrs.
As they know some are just cowboys.
I wont jeopardise the good reputation i am building up on iffy eicrs and slap dash paperwork.
