[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 502797, member: 17152"] Reason for change of tenancy is common sense applicable, reason being who knows if a Tenant has interfered with the electrics and potentially left it dangerous for your next tenant, so it is recommended that an inspection is carried out, the 5 year rule is applied to privately owned properties generally however this doesn’t rule out a person interfering with wiring etc. But the consensus is that the more people that live in a property the more likely it is that alterations etc will be made unknowingly. as for the cable between meter and the cu, under normal circumstances then the occupant is responsible however in a High rise or block of flats etc where the incomer is located remotely to the individual property then there is a third party involved called a BNO, building network operator ? Who are responsible for this section of cabling, but again the EICR requires the electrician to report on the condition of the supply cables and service head. This doesn’t mean that it’s your responsibility, it’s just a way of getting someone pay attention to it as how often does the DNO turn up and check it!! [/QUOTE]
