[QUOTE="kme, post: 3351, member: 113"] This seems to be an upward trend ext. We`re also getting more of these. I was given to understand that the PIR was originally going to be included in the HIP, then, for whatever esoteric reason, the gov`t kicked it out. The main problem we`re seeing is that some of these "visual inspectors", or even surveyors, by necessity are not as au fait with regs as we are. They`ll either pass something with no comment which would scream "rewire" to most of us, or they`ll pick up 1 or 2 things, i.e. lead cables in the loft; yet not follow that to its logical conclusion. Surely it would be better (from a safety point of view), if a PIR by an electrician was carried out on a change of ownership of premises, similar to the change of tenant in an HMO? IMHO of course [/QUOTE]
