[QUOTE="binky, post: 502192, member: 490"] In my humble opinion, as log as you have RCD protection for sockets then your electrical system is suitable for rental. As for plastic boards, the decent makes were fire-retardent, which is the actual requirement rather than being metal - as long as they are checked over for any signs of thermal damage, again no issue in my opinion. One pint that is missed by many landlords and ladies is the location of the board itself may require fire protection. EG in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs should have the board enclosed in a fire retardent structure. I'm not sure f the exact details of the requirements as it keeps changing dependent on how many floors the building is, HMO status, other fire escape routes, and I haven't looked at this for a long time.
