Key Facts:
The term ‘electrical installation’ refers to and includes each item of fixed electrical equipment which runs from the electricity meter of the rental property.
Of course, over time, electrical installations may suffer damage or simply become unsafe due to fair wear and tear, therefore, it is imperative to ensure that they are properly maintained.
Should you as a landlord fail to keep up to date with electrical testing, this can lead to prosection, and it will also make the majority of insurance policies for property owners invalid.
