Evening all
I will keep it brief but really need some advice.
Paid for a EICR from Open Rent. Electrician came out on behalf of said company. Was there for 20 minutes. Said it had passed and had one C3, which was for no RCD protection. Said to call his boss to get the certificate.
Called his boss and he said, you have failed mate. It is a C2 and he quoted £580 remedial works. I said no, your electrician said it was a C3. I have since had 2 electricians out that have also said it should be a C3. Called the electrician back up and he started laughing and swearing at me. I looked at the certificate and he has signed it as though he came out himself to the property and did the test, which he didn't and also put the wrong date on it.
Complaining to Open Rent and not getting anywhere.
The government has basically set us landlords up to be targeted for extortion.
