Got a reference for that. I assume it's a landlord reg so I have not
seen it.

The relevant bit is:
(2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) €śat regular intervals€ť
means€”
(a) at intervals of no more than 5 years; or
(b) where the most recent report under sub-paragraph (3)(a) requires
such inspection and testing to be at intervals of less than 5 years,
at the intervals specified in that report.
That is interesting and something I wasn't aware of. Forewarned I
might be tempted to ask for the justification of why another
inspection within the 5 years.
Perhaps Adam can provide possible reasons?

Thanks, those seem default times rather than having any basis of
requirement.

Suggests that a landlord visual inspection to make sure nothing is
broken or defective would constitute a sufficient routine check.
I was under the initial understanding that there might a specific type
of installation that might require a more frequent inspection than 5 years.
