When did this happen then????
Kind of relieved as my shed, which I inherited when I moved into my
property in 2005, already had electrics wired up by the previous
owner. But as I'm now considering getting rid of it and building a
bigger one, was concerned about tinkering about with the supply.
So I guess I can do what I like out there now? :-)
You always could, the electricity police aren't waiting around the
corner ready to pounce on anyone breaking the rules
But, a potential problem arises when you come to sell your house.
No "potential" problem I can foresee.
If after the solicitation of a conveyancer and a house survey, any
perceived problem is with the buyer if the seller can't produce an
appropriate sheet of paper or a certificate.
strange way of looking at it. Many buyers would simply walk away. That
puts the problem on the vendor's lap.
