Hi there,
I’m after some advice please. I’m a landlady that lets out a coach house. It’s accommodation over 3 garages. One garage is for use by the coach house the other 2 are on a peppercorn lease to the neighbouring houses. One of the neighbours garages has had an automated Garage door fitted and it is powered from their house from a cable. My question is, is it my responsibility to obtain an EICR for my coach house including the checking of motor in the garage, even though this is something fitted by my neighbour for use by them and powered from their electricity supply? Or should this be covered by the EICR for their house. I’m concerned that the letting agency may be reluctant to renew the tenancy agreement if this is not included and I’m trying to work out if it is my responsibility. However, this is not really different from a block of flats, where there are multiple occupants, where they may be in the same building, but have to be responsible for all the installation from their es electrical supply. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
