Removal of ev charger

It’s probably best we avoid going even more off track in that one!!!

I’d bet the charge point would be broken before that happened.

..... if you're dead set on that house and nothing is gonna derail/the sale has reached a point where it will complete

Quite so . It's just the same as I usually say when people start fussing about the 'possible consequences in relation to a future sale' of failing to notify notifiable electrical work ...

... just as you say of the EV charge point, if a prospective buyer is otherwise keen on the purchase, unless they are pretty daft they will not be put off by the knowledge that some notifiable electrical work has not been notified. The only important point (for the buyer) is that they do not lie about the situation.

Let's face it, even if work has been notified, that is no absolute guarantee that the electrical installation is 'safe' the next day - so a prospective buyer wanting something approaching 'total reassurance' about that should arrange (and pay for) an EICR before committing themselves to the purchase.

Will that ever happen?

As I said, "probably much later" !

Of course, although it will be well beyond my lifetime, it is inevitable that, ultimately (probably centuries down the road), we will totally run out of 'fossil fuels' - so vehicles will then have to be either all electric and/or running on some sort of manufactured liquid or gaseous fuel - and I suspect that the former is by far the more likely (cost-effective).

Cor, bet they got fifty quid for weighing all that in. Totally worth lowering offers by thousands

I assumed it was a rental and a dodgy tenant.

The asking price was only about £5K below that another sold for, I did put in an offer for about half of that. Agent came back with an 'absolutely minimum price' which was so far out of kilter with value and cost of repair. As I understand it the freeholder eventually reclaimed the lease a long time later (like 2 years or more) as it just stood empty, insecure and disintegrating, but right to the end the estate agents had it on their books and the price increased rather than decreased to cut their losses.

That never happened. Those non-electrician installer types have already moved on to the next bandwagon item.

They're fitting PV now or heat pumps
