PAT Testing for Landlords
Do you provide any electrical appliances in your properties?
When letting a property, the electrical system and all appliances provided must be safe. Failure to ensure safe electrical systems and equipment and comply with regulations is a criminal offence and may result in:
A fine of £5,000 per item for not complying
Six months imprisonment
Possible manslaughter charges in the event of a death
Tenants could sue for civil damages
Property insurance could be invalidated
The Health and Safety Executive enforces the electrical safety regulations, information is available on their website www.hse.gov.uk .
It is therefore advisable to have regular checks on all electrical appliances provided with your properties.
The RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) guidelines for renting a property state that 'Portable appliance testing for all electrical appliances must be undertaken'.
Broadland Testing works for many letting agencies in Norwich and for private landlords to help them adhere to these guidelines and the law.
Pricing
For Norfolk and Suffolk £35.00 + VAT per property
Maximum of 20 items per property, £1.80 per item thereafter.
