[QUOTE="msec, post: 537127, member: 35871"] Yeah, but the agents are only encouraged by the sparkys who seem to be more than willing to bend over backwards for peanuts. The majority of course are using the EICR's as an 'in' for remedial work and will find it even if it's not there. Others are happy just to do them dirt cheap and basically spend an hour making up the results. I'd do them all day if the price reflected the value, but sadly even the supposed reputable firms are doing them at 50% of what I think they should be. Even the legislation that made them mandatory contains a 'recommended' price as a guide for landlords, without actually mentioning even the basic differentiating factors, such as the property, size and use of installation etc. I've never been one to compete on price, always been happy to avoid the race to the bottom, but there's only so much you can do in certain circumstances. My response has been to avoid them altogether. [/QUOTE]
