Estate agent and money

[westward10]

Why don't you pay them a visit.

 

[chris day]

did you tested it by you self.

Yes i started on my own testing them

 

[Toneyz]

I don't do too many EICR's and certainly none on a block of flats - what's the correct way do them, would it be 1 EICR per flat and a 17th for Landlord/Communal?

What is a 17th for Landlord/Communal ?.

 

[123]

What is a 17th for Landlord/Communal ?.

A 17th EICR (as in number of them)
16 flats in total

Ok thanks I see what you mean now.

 

[Leesparkykent]

I would go in to the estate agent and ask what's happening.

 

[The Ghost]

Depends on the set up

Sounds like a lot more paperwork.

I agree however when I asked they wanted one for the entire building which possibly is not the best idea,m

I would do one eicr per DNO supply. If the property is served from one DNO then only one EICR.

So you do 1 EICR for 16 flats and the communal services.

A couple of flats have issues.... So the whole lot is unsatisfactory ....

With decent certificate software, individual Certs would be better AND then you can invoice in smaller chunks of work ...

 

[The Ghost]

So do you do that in commercial premises. Issue cert for each DB bit by bit?

It is the most sensible thing to do a Report per dwelling. Someone wants to know the condition of No18 you give them its Report and not a document they have to search through. We tested Trellick Tower in London about ten years ago, all separate Reports.

One commercial property would have 1 EICR, irrespective of the number of DBs

This block of flats is 16 flats and 1 communal

I can see the sense in that if people actually are interested enough to read them, haven't met many. But of course we did find that on doing 66 units various tenants did want their EICR separated for insurance purposes. It was not a problem to identify the part of the report but would have been neater if they were all separate in retrospect. Will take note of the above.

It would be dependant on size and the nature of the site, beginning of this year we did a periodic of just under 900 circuits all from a single source. There were several buildings ranging from office space, domestic, public and surgical. Each building had its own Report with another for the mains distribution it just made sense due to the different environments and ease of reading.

Trellick tower? Wasn't that the one that had a fire in April this year?

 

[The Ghost]

900?!

Yes it was on the upper floors, not guilty. Fascinating place a proper mix of life and a prime example of the planners dream going wrong. If you are into reading you should try High Rise by J Ballard as it was based on Trellick and portrays brilliantly the dream going wrong just as it did at Trellick.

 

[buzzlightyear]

personally I think you have bitten more then you can chewed .on testing that property .for one man band .the reason possible they might knock you.

 

[dmxtothemax]

Can you withdraw the EICR ?

 

[PEG]

Can you withdraw the EICR ?

That is a very Catholic thing,to suggest...
