Inspection
and testing
As a landlord you are ordering the work - you have a legal duty to ensure the safety of tenant and that includes ensuring persons carrying out electrical works are competent
As a minimum you should refer to the check list in Appendix A (in the document on this page that says 'legal requirements') and check if the person doing your electrical work is suitably qualified and trained.
If you do not do this you may end up with a worthless bit of paper rather than documents that will stand up in court.
