[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 494777, member: 8133"] Risteard is right, while you'll never get a full fault list through inspection, you could pick the vast majority of them up with a through covers-off visual. and probably somewhere in the region of 50% without picking up a screwdriver. If you think back to EICRs carried out, generally on mine the summaries are fairly wordy (as is the defect list), but I'm not sure theres one where I could not have written the same outcome and summary after a 10minute walkaround (on some quite big installations). What you of course wouldn't have is a comprehensive list of issues to do remedials against, but as a go / no go indication, its pretty effective. If say there was a big portfolio of domestic properties with no history, you could very quickly sort them out into four groups. "Visually ok - unlikely to be any major safety issues", "A few easily fixed issues - book in to have various list of accessories replaced", "Quite a bit wrong - reschedule for EICR to get a full picture" "Lots of issues - Assign to re-wiring team" [/QUOTE]
