π‘ Buying a house in Derry or the North West? Donβt overlook the electrics.
Most surveys donβt go into much detail on the electrical system β which means issues can easily be missed until after youβve moved in.
Across the North West, we regularly come across:
β οΈ No RCD protection
β οΈ Older fuse boards
β οΈ DIY electrical work
β οΈ Wiring showing signs of wear or damage
In some cases, these can lead to significant upgrade costs β including the possibility of a full rewire.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) gives you a clear picture before you commit. It covers the wiring, consumer unit, circuits, and overall safety of the installation.
β Understand the condition of the electrics
β Avoid unexpected costs after purchase
β Put yourself in a stronger position to negotiate
If youβre buying in Derry or the North West, itβs worth knowing exactly what youβre taking on.
Feel free to get in touch to arrange an EICR or for advice on your purchase.
