Hi Wendy, I would be very suspicious of your Electrician. The Consumer Unit, or Fuse Box as you call it, does not have to comply to New regs. As long as it is safe and has RCD protection, so don't let them con you. In reality probably 80% of existing installations do not come up to the new Reg's, they are mainly intended for New Installations..

Hi Paul I am hardly naïve, been in and around the Construction Industry all my working Life. Built up my Lighting Company from scratch, which was very successful. I may now be retired but it does not mean I have to let so called Trades People take me for a ride. It seems Gas Engineers, Plumbers and Electricians are the worst of the Trades. if we just accept that as Landlords we are fair game, where will this end, we all need to complain the Trades body's etc and keep it in the Public Eye.

As usual with Government Guidance it's vague, if it is left to individual Councils to apply their own Policy on this issue, how can a Landlord know how they stand. I would like to raise another issue whilst here, this compliance requirement is an Electricians License to rip you off. I have had 3 of my Properties tested so far, 2 were fine but the 3rd one failed. However it should not have failed the Electrician put down code C2, which means unacceptable, when in fact it should have been C3 Improvement recommended, he then offered to rectify the non-existent problem for £180.00. I am a retired Electrician so pulled him up on this, he will not now respond to any means of contact. There are several reports of Landlords being ripped off by Electricians on the OpenRent Forum. Landlords should Post this problem on as many discussion sites as possible, and complain to their MP's about this dreadful situation the Authorities have imposed on all Landlords.

Well what a surprise! She’s a Labour Politician. Obviously lives in Cloud Cuckoo land as do all Socialists. A better message to give to People is that they are in charge of their own destiny, and should not expect others to Pay their debts.

The Government pander to these lefty idealists who are invariably non-achievers or work (joke) for a Government Dept and could not hold down a job in the real World. This Country has totally lost it’s way, I suspect we will soon see an exodus of Wealth creators, and all you will be left with will be wingers.

I stopped using Agents many Years ago, they were useless,. If there was a problem at the Property they would just send a Contractor without questioning whether it was the Tenants responsibility or could be resolved simply by the Tenant. They also caused ill feeling between the Landlord and Tenant, and since I have run all my Tenancies myself, I have great relationships with my Tenants. Agents are an expensive non- effective extravagance.
