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.
