Open Rent need PAT test, but no portable appliance

Im trying to complete my tenancy, however Im unable to proceed due to the box ticking electrical appliances test requirement. I have a current EICR and am not providing any portable appliance, but the Open Rent asks if any electrical appliances are being provided. Yes, there’s an oven . Its new. The

requirement is for a PAT test to be completed. Or an inspection by a “ competent person “ . Makes no sense, but there seems no way to circumvent this requirement. An oven doesn’t require a PAT test .

A new oven already has a one year g/tee already on it and just been tested in the factory

Just take yes. It’s just a marketing exercise, so they can remind you when it’s due.

Yes i originally thought that . A PAT test isn’t mandatory, and im “ gifting “ the washer and fridge as they were left behind. So all good. My first use of Open R, hopefully it will work out , but ive usually left contracts and references to the estate agents .

done the right thing in “gifting” .Less problems

Yeah, I will gift the washer and fridge . The oven isn’t covered by the PAT requirement.
