They’re having a full survey done next week so doubtless something about electrics will come up (we haven’t got a modern RCD for starters).
May be a danger of being too honest... -
We’ve accepted an offer on our place from some first time buyers.
Filling out the Property Information Form for the solicitors and they’ve asked for elec certifs for any work carried out or an EICR.
We had some downlights put in the extension and also lights in new en-suite a while ago. Neither were signed off.
Am thinking of getting someone round to do an EICR.
Will that be enough? I know it’s bound to bring up a fair few issues. -
We've used Steve the spindoctor for a few jobs on washing machines and dishwashers.
Reliable and reasonable.
We're in Peckham think he does most of SE London

Thanks - it’s really for our buyers who are First Time Buyers.
Good you can trust someone after your house issues! -
Just got Jesse round to look at sorting my leaking extension roof.
Been given run around by a few others.
Jesse was here v quick for quote and says he can put fibreglass sealer on it on Monday which should solve it.
Hope he does cos I gave him a deposit for the materials...
Did he give you a guarantee for the work? -
Fun viewing today.
Checking the loft/roof of a house we were interested in. Agent half took down loft ladder which was in 3 parts. I pulled it down all the way but when straight it didn’t touch the stairs so was in mid air.
When it did touch the top stair though it wasn’t fully straight...
It’s ok the Agent said, the vendor mentioned it wasn’t working properly.
Going up was fine...going down though one of the brackets snapped!
I didn’t fall and got down fine but it freaked my wife out.
It meant the ladder wouldn’t fold away again either so we had to leave the broken ladder sticking out of the hatch!
Agent wasn’t happy but what if I’d been seriously hurt?
Anyway we’re not buying it as it’s way overpriced and we’re wary of the area we’re now looking in. It has houses which are leasehold with nominal ground rent and zero service charges but 2 landlords: Dulwich Estates and Southwark Council both of whom want paying if there’s any changes to the house... -
[edit] can now see photos
