Thanks guys.
If I get an EICR certificate, does this mean that I can then rent out the property? - or does the EICR certificate have to confirm that the electrics have passed the test/inspection before I can rent the property out ?....

Use a site like Check-a-Trade to find someone with reviews locally. There are a few of this type of site & they have to pay to join so keeping a good track record is important. Hopefully you will avoid the cowboys. Anyone who is really cheap should be avoided!

Reply to Terrace roof leaking

by Hudson01

I guess that if the roof tiles used on your...

Yes that's correct then the tape is put over the joint.
I've checked back and the roof on my side is at least 15 years old.
The work on the roof was done prior to myself or neighbour buying our houses(which was approx 10 years ago) so I don't feel it's a case of something that I have done...
