We take a steady number of eicr — electrical safety checks on a hmo enquiries from Aberdare each month, and the pattern is fairly consistent. HMO EICRs are commercial-grade in everything but name — the officer will look at emergency lighting, communal circuits and interlinked alarms, not just the socket outlets. We would rather turn a Aberdare job down than take on something we cannot certificate honestly. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement.
Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold. There is a short version and a long version of eicr — electrical safety checks on a hmo. The short version: test it, then decide.
