Pre Purchase House Survey

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make, and understanding the condition of the electrical installation is an important part of that process. At I Mills Electrics, we provide thorough pre‑purchase electrical surveys to help you make an informed decision.

We check the condition of the wiring, the age and safety of the consumer unit, and the general compliance of the installation with current regulations. This means you will know exactly what you are buying and whether any electrical work is needed.

Older properties often have outdated or deteriorating electrical systems. During a pre‑purchase survey, we look for potential safety risks such as damaged cables, old fuse boards, or poorly executed alterations.

If we find any issues, we will explain them clearly, highlighting which items need immediate attention and which could be addressed in the future. This allows you to factor any necessary repairs or upgrades into your purchase plans.

After carrying out the survey, we provide a detailed written report that explains our findings in straightforward terms. We avoid unnecessary jargon so that you can understand exactly what we have identified and what it means for you as a buyer.

We include any recommended work, along with an indication of urgency. This clarity helps you make confident decisions, whether that means negotiating with the seller or planning future electrical upgrades.

Because we are based in Croydon and work across South East London, we are familiar with the types of properties in the area and the common electrical issues they present. This local knowledge means we can often identify patterns or problems more quickly than a non‑local contractor.

Our experience ensures your pre‑purchase survey is both thorough and relevant, helping you avoid unexpected surprises after you move in.
