Pre-purchase electrical survey
An inspection of a property's electrics before a purchase completes, reporting what the wiring is and what it would cost to bring up to standard. Pre-purchase electrical survey businesses are all electricians, with 26 businesses carrying out this work nationally. The businesses are concentrated in London, with further representation in Walton-on-Thames, Ashford, Ashton-on-Lyne and Bristol. The work is also called homebuyer electrical survey and electrical survey before buying. It is associated with buying a house with old electrics, while published ratings range from 3.9 to 5.0.
Why people have it done
- What the wiring actually is, is known before the purchase completes rather than after.
