Estate Agent Pre-Sale EICR across Kent

Pre-sale EICR work for estate agents across Kent

A pre-sale EICR isn’t legally required to sell a property, but it’s increasingly common on older stock — particularly where the buyer’s surveyor is likely to flag the electrics on a Level 2 or Level 3 report. CJA Electrical works with estate agents across Kent on vendor-commissioned EICRs that head off renegotiation risk before the buyer’s surveyor arrives.

Why agents recommend pre-sale EICRs

The economics are usually straightforward: a pre-sale EICR costs less than the typical price reduction a buyer asks for after their surveyor flags older electrics. Doing it pre-listing puts a clean certificate in the contract pack, removes a common renegotiation lever, and signals to buyers that the property’s been kept up to current standards.

For older properties — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Medway and Maidstone, period stock in Canterbury and Tunbridge Wells — the inspection is more often than not the difference between a smooth sale and a survey-stage scramble.
