Hello,
I have a good relationship with my tenants in a purpose built flat.
On the 24th Jan all the electrics and boiler went down.
It took British Gas until Monday 21st Jan to restore the boiler and all electrics apart from the lighting.
Apparently there is a neutral fault on the wiring and I'm waiting for the quote of works for them to rectify.
NB: I carried out a fully certified NICEIC electrical inspection in 2011 when I had my mains board updated.
1) Can anyone tell me how to calculate a reasonable compensation for the tenants’ inconvenience of not having main lighting? A daily amount would work. I am estimating 14 days before they get main lighting again. I was thinking of offering £150 for lost food and the inconvenience?
2) Should I make a claim against the electrician who may have missed issues in the 2011 inspection?
3) Should I report this to NICEIC as there may have been danger to lives.
Thank you for your help.
