Question 7

Do holiday lets in Braunton need an EICR?

Accepted Answer

The five-year legal rule covers tenancies, not holiday lets. Most insurers and booking platforms still expect one, though, and it's the easiest way to prove the place is safe if anything goes wrong. Plenty of Braunton owners book it between seasons alongside a PAT test.

Question 8

Do I need a full rewire in Braunton, or just a new fuse box?

Accepted Answer

Get an EICR first, around £190. It tests the cables themselves, so you'll know whether the old wiring is sound enough for a new board (about £580) or whether a rewire (about £5,200) is really needed. Plenty of Braunton homes only need the board.

Do you cover the villages round Braunton, like Saunton and Wrafton?

Accepted Answer

We do. The an EICR prices on this page already include jobs in Saunton, Wrafton, Knowle, Heanton Punchardon. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Braunton work, so the next slot (in 7 days) normally applies to you too.

Question 10

What happens if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?

Accepted Answer

The report will list C1 (danger now) and C2 (potentially dangerous) items, plus FI where more checking is needed. As a landlord you must get those fixed within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, then get written confirmation and send it to your tenant and to North Devon Council within 28 days if they ask.

Question 11

Does living by the sea in Braunton affect electrical work?

Accepted Answer

It can. Salt air corrodes outdoor sockets, lights and meter boxes faster, so ask for IP65 or better outside. Older properties and holiday lets here also tend to have damp in outbuildings, which an electrician will check during the job.

Question 12

What electrical checks does a holiday let in Braunton need?

Accepted Answer

As a paying-guest let you need a fire risk assessment, working smoke alarms and safe appliances. Most Braunton owners keep an EICR every five years, PAT test yearly and check alarms before each season. Booking them in one visit keeps the cost near £195.

Accepted Answer
