[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 452156, member: 6969"] I think it all depends on what the purchaser is buying it for. If to live in himself, then no he does not have to do anything. If he is buying it to let then the duty of care he has for the tenant would suggest he would be daft not to replace it. It should not stop the sale, and at worse he will want to knock a few £00 off the cost to cover the cost of a new consumer unit. I don't know why people get bothered about having to replace it, it is not a huge job (though sometimes can be) and not that expensive and really does make the installation safer in the case of a fault. It does annoy me at some monkey giving a C2 for a missing label, that does not make it an immediate danger. Assuming there were no other C2's (earth bonding etc?) then the CU replacement should be simple. [/QUOTE]
