Estate agent and money

[NDG Elecs]

Both landlords and letting agents will often not read the small print. You say you did a detailed quotation, but that obviously cannot cover doubled up circuits in CUs etc. If you based the quote on 16 flats x5 ccts and that was agreed then crack on I say. I would only do another 20 at the most though before getting paid upfront for works done before carrying out the rest.

Are the agents and or landlord aware what an EICR is? Sometimes they have a misguided belief that remedial works are included within the pricing. Pay the agents a visit, and if all good, ask for email confirmation before proceeding further.

Good luck!

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.

For the price they are paying I am not overly concerned about doubled up circuits although good point.

I feel that is not the reason as they has no idea about my business structure when they called, 80 circuits I can nock out in 3 days.

with 17 flats involved.............. how could you guarantee access?

My quotation explains the process and reasons behind the EICR so they don't have any excuses .
I don't think they know what they are doing as they want once certificate.
Every flat has faults so I won't worry about failing a healthy flat, because one flat could catch fire it would affect the rest so they could argue one dangerous flat endangers all the flats, hence grenfell.

They very kindly gave me the keys, I wish payment was as straight forward

Well if you still have the keys I wouldn’t worry too much about getting paid.

A lot of additional sheets. Main DB(s) then all the submains identified as flat nos and labelled DB subs. etc.

17 meters i.e. 16 flats and the landlords DB = 17 certificates - Simples
