Why Is a Homebuyer Electrical Report Essential?
Standard home surveys don't include detailed electrical testing. A property could have dangerous wiring hidden behind walls that a surveyor would never detect. A full rewire can cost £3,000-£8,000+, so knowing the electrical condition before purchase is crucial.
