Is this mandatory check
Yes , I have just heard about it , absolute waste of money
It’s not mandatory to get a test. LL needs to do a risk assessment but this can be done themselves. Essentially provided there is regular use of the water then risks are considered low as legionella is a risk from stagnant water. Where property has been vacant for more than a week you should run taps for extended period to get fresh water. Also need to ensure that water tanks are properly sealed and hot water tank is temperature controlled.

If you’re still looking for the cheapest option for a Legionella check, it might be a good idea to revisit the discussion and see if there are any new developments or recommendations from other landlords. Prices and services can change over time, so it’s worth checking again to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
One approach could be to reach out to local water hygiene companies or plumbing services to get updated quotes and compare prices. You might also consider asking for recommendations from other landlords or property managers in your area.
