My privately rented flat has had no electrical safety inspection in the nine years I’ve lived in it. My landlord has agreed to “send someone round” to provide the statutory five-yearly check but from experience I am less than sure it would be a properly qualified electrician. What should I ask when he arrives, to be sure he has suitable qualifications?
You can ask if theyre a member of NAPIT or NICEIC and whether they have the required qualification for EICR checks, such as City and Guilds 2391 or equivalent.

Thanks, I will ask. Who knows - he might be qualified!
