Why the property type matters

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.

Most HMO properties across Ystrad Mynach were conversion-era rewiring 2000s–now; interlinked alarms and emergency lighting almost always retrofitted. That single fact drives the eicr — electrical safety checks conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.
