What Is a Pre-Purchase Electrical Survey?
A Pre-Purchase Electrical Survey involves a comprehensive inspection and testing of all fixed electrical installations in a property you're considering buying. This inspection identifies any electrical defects, wear and tear, or non-compliance issues before you complete the purchase, helping you make an informed decision.
Our pre-purchase electrical survey services include:
- Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for property purchases
- Comprehensive inspection and testing of all fixed electrical installations
- Identification of any electrical defects or safety hazards
- Assessment of electrical installation age and condition
- Compliance checks with BS7671 wiring regulations
- Detailed survey report with photographs

When Should You Get a Pre-Purchase Electrical Survey?
Pre-purchase electrical surveys should be carried out before completing a property purchase in London. Ideally, arrange the survey as early as possible in the purchase process, after your offer has been accepted but before exchange of contracts. This gives you time to address any electrical issues found or negotiate the purchase price accordingly.
We help property buyers across North London, South London, East London, West London, and Central London with timely pre-purchase electrical surveys and professional certification.
