In January 2005 the government introduced Part P of the Building Regulations for England and Wales, so most fixed electrical installation work carried out in homes must, by law, comply with the Building Regulations. Anyone carrying out electrical installation work covered by Part P in a home must either notify the local authority before the work is carried out and pay an inspection fee or the work has to be certified and carried out by someone who is registered with a scheme authorised by the government, such as NAPIT.
A valid Landlord Safety Certificate is required for all let properties.

Among others a Government authorised scheme is run by NAPIT. Scheme details and the authorisation can be found on the NAPIT Website www.napit.org.uk or from the NAPIT helpline 0870 444 1392.
Additionally there are a number of Part P related articles in my blog.
I can give you advice on whether a certificate is required in your case. If you have doubts or questions don’t hesitate to call me or drop me a line at The Poole Electrician.
