What it involves
A homebuyer electrical survey is a pre-purchase inspection of the property’s electrical installation — essentially an EICR carried out with a buyer in mind. We check the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, earthing and bonding, and flag anything that is unsafe, outdated or likely to need money spending on it soon. You get a clear, plain-English picture of the condition before you exchange, so there are no nasty surprises after you move in.
Why it matters
A standard mortgage valuation does not assess the electrics in any detail, and older properties in Bath and Somerset can hide expensive issues — an outdated fuse board, a part-rewired house, or wiring that has not been touched in decades. Knowing this before you commit gives you the facts to budget properly or negotiate on price. It is a small spend that can save thousands and a lot of stress.
