At the viewing
Open the consumer unit and count the RCDs. If there are none, or just one, the installation is old. Check for unearthed sockets in the kitchen or bathroom. And look out for extension leads behind the sofa: too few sockets often points to an installation that was never updated.
When an inspection pays off
For houses built before 1990, after a renovation by the previous owner, or if there are already solar panels. With our report you know what it costs to bring the installation up to standard, and you can factor that into your offer.
What it costs
An inspection of a home up to 150 m² costs €295. You'll have the report within two working days, well before your conditions of purchase expire.
