Pre-Purchase Electrical Surveys & EICRs in Liverpool
A standard homebuyer's survey barely touches the electrics, yet rewiring or a new consumer unit can be one of the biggest hidden costs in an older Liverpool property. A pre-purchase EICR gives you the real picture before you exchange: the age and condition of the wiring and consumer unit, whether there is proper RCD protection, and any previous DIY work that would not pass muster. It is a small outlay that can save you thousands or give you room to renegotiate.
We inspect and test the full installation and give you a clear report with every observation coded and explained in plain English, so you can weigh up what you are taking on. Sellers use them too, getting ahead of a buyer's concerns with a clean certificate in hand. As a NAPIT registered firm we can also quote any remedial work as one fixed price, so you go into the purchase knowing exactly where you stand.

The true condition of the wiring, board and protection, so an older Liverpool home holds no expensive electrical surprises.

For sellers too
A clean EICR in hand reassures buyers and heads off last-minute worries that can stall a sale.
Your questions, answered
Is a homebuyer's survey not enough?
A standard survey only glances at the electrics. A dedicated EICR actually tests the installation, which is where the big hidden costs, a rewire or a new board, usually hide.
Can I use the report to renegotiate?
Yes. If the report flags significant work, you have coded, professional evidence to renegotiate the price or ask the seller to sort it before you complete.
How quickly can you do one?
We can usually fit a pre-purchase inspection in quickly to suit your timeline, and turn the report around promptly so it does not hold up your purchase.
