Expert Insights For Your Safety

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT our homebuyer survey service


What exactly is a Homebuyers Electrical Survey?

A Homebuyers Electrical Survey is a comprehensive inspection of the electrical system in a property intended for purchase. It includes a detailed assessment of wiring, sockets, fuse boxes, and safety devices to identify any potential hazards or defects.

This survey is crucial for any homebuyer in London and the Home Counties, as it provides an essential report (Homebuyer Electrical Report) outlining the condition of the electrical installations, ensuring the safety and compliance of your future home.


How long does the survey take?

The duration of a Homebuyers Electrical Survey typically depends on the size and age of the property. For an average-sized home, the survey can take a three to four hours. Our team at Testar ensures a thorough and efficient inspection, causing minimal disruption to your schedule, while providing a comprehensive homebuyer electrical inspection.


Is a Homebuyers Electrical Survey legally required when purchasing a property?

While a Homebuyers Electrical Survey is not legally required when purchasing a property, it is highly recommended, especially in areas like London and the Home Counties.

The survey provides essential insights into the electrical system’s safety and functionality, which is crucial for any homebuyer. It helps in making an informed decision and can be instrumental in avoiding unforeseen costs related to electrical repairs after purchase.

Is this survey necessary for newly built homes?

Yes, a Homebuyers Electrical Survey is advisable even for newly built homes. While new constructions are generally compliant with the latest safety standards, this survey serves as a validation to ensure that all electrical installations are correctly installed and functioning safely. It’s a crucial step in the home buying process, providing peace of mind that your new property in London or the Home Counties is electrically sound.


What happens if electrical issues are found?

If our Homebuyers Electrical Inspection identifies any issues, they will be detailed in the report along with recommendations for necessary repairs or upgrades. This information can be invaluable in negotiating with sellers, planning future maintenance, or simply understanding the electrical state of the property. Testar can also provide follow-up services to address any identified issues.


Can a Homebuyers Electrical Survey identify all electrical problems?

A Homebuyers Electrical Survey is designed to identify a wide range of common electrical issues in a property. Our experienced electricians conduct a thorough inspection of the electrical system, including wiring, sockets, and safety devices.

While we aim to uncover as many potential issues as possible, some deeply hidden or latent problems may not be detectable without invasive methods. However, our homebuyer electrical report provides a comprehensive overview of the electrical system’s condition at the time of inspection.


How does a Homebuyers Electrical Survey differ from a standard home inspection?

A Homebuyers Electrical Survey is more focused and detailed regarding the electrical aspects of a property. While a standard home inspection covers a broad range of elements (like plumbing, structure, and roofing), our electrical survey specifically targets the property’s electrical system.

This includes an in-depth look at wiring, fuse boxes, grounding systems, and safety checks, ensuring a thorough homebuyers electrical inspection tailored to uncover any electrical concerns.

What qualifications do Testar’s engineers have for conducting Homebuyers Electrical Surveys?

Testar’s team of electricians are highly qualified and experienced in conducting Homebuyers Electrical Surveys. They are certified and trained to comply with the latest UK electrical standards and regulations.

Our electricians regularly undergo training to stay updated with the latest electrical safety practices, ensuring they provide the most comprehensive and reliable homebuyer electrical reports in the industry.
