1) Home Buyers Electrical Safety Inspection (EICR) Bradford🏡
If you’re in the process of buying a new home, there’s one thing you absolutely must do before completing the purchase — have the electrics professionally inspected. No excuses. Let me be clear: if there are no up-to-date electrical certificates available, do not buy the house unless an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) has been carried out — preferably by an electrician you trust. You wouldn’t skip a homebuyers survey, so don’t ignore the electrics either. Standard home surveys don’t assess electrical safety, and it’s a dangerous assumption to think a few new sockets or a shiny fuse board means all is well. I’ve seen many cases where issues were hidden behind a fresh lick of paint and a couple of new switches.
It’s simple — you need to know what you’re buying. An EICR is like a health check for the electrics in your new property. It tells you:
If the installation is safe.
If there are any urgent issues or potential hazards.
If work has been done to a decent standard or needs further attention.
What you don’t want is to move in and discover that the electrics are dangerous or non-compliant. I’ve had countless customers contact me weeks after moving in, only to find out their new home needs a full rewire. By then, it’s too late — the sale’s done, and the expense is yours. It’s also common for homes to be freshly renovated for sale — but the electrics are never checked. Looks can be deceiving, and only proper testing reveals what’s really going on behind the scenes.
A proper Home Buyers EICR isn’t a rushed two-hour visit. It’s a full and thorough inspection of the electrical installation. I take the time to do it right, because this isn’t just another house — it could be your dream home.
