Period-flat EICRs are two jobs in one — the flat's own installation, and the communal circuits the freeholder is responsible for. The regulations move; installations do not. Part of the job is explaining which differences actually matter and which are simply age. It is the kind of detail that separates a tidy job from a callback.

If it turns out not to apply here, you will be told that plainly.
