Housing: Electrical Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring an Electrical Installation Condition Report at the point of sale of a property.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
On 6 October 2025, the government published two consultations outlining reform proposals to transform home buying and selling. They can be found on gov.uk here and here.
The consultations include proposals to mandate the provision of upfront property information.
Final decisions are subject to the outcome of these consultations.
