What's a CPS?

competent persons scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT, etc)



Come to think of it from a legal point of view, its probably not a bad
idea to have an EICR at a change of tenant just in case the outgoing
tenant has "interfered" with the wiring to then present a safety risk to
the incoming tenant....

If the incoming tenant is injured/electrocuted, the landlord's ability to
defend themself against a charge of letting unsafe property will be weaker
without an EICR at change of tenant?


Does it happen enough to warrant the stupid cost of that approach ?

Bureaucracy gone mad imo.
