[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 490646, member: 18490"] I know it's late to the thread but i've just been sent one of these (done in April 2018) and I can't believe it's an official document. Any nic members care to comment? It's not a BS7671 form... The completed one i've been sent all looks very proper, with C2 & C3 observations and a summary saying that upgrades are needed. How is that possible to say with no testing?! I've been sent it because I've been asked to do an EICR now on a flat that had a new consumer unit in May! Apparently "an installation certficiate isn't as good as an inspection report" as said by the letting agent. So the 'domestic visual condition report' was the last acceptable paperwork. I'm having increased interactions with estate agents, landlords and tenants and it seems that there a lot of companies doing 'visual' and/or 'functional' checks and they are passing these off as full and proper testing and inspection. It's worrying from a safety and complacency point of view, and annoying from a business point of view as a proper EICR costs double! [/QUOTE]
