DOMESTIC ELECTRICAL REPORT
Buying and Selling Property
Electrical Installation Condition Reports, or EIC Reports, are required by most Agents when buying or selling a property.
The EIC Report is a complete diagnosis of the state of the electrical system. Prior to purchasing a new home, home-buyers often request electrical safety certificates.
The mortgage lender may stipulate that a report is obtained to ensure there are no serious problems with the electrical supply.
If electrical problems or risks are identified, EV Life will provide a free quotation to rectify the situation. The buyer and vendor will be clear about the extent of the problem.
