The Periodic Electrical Inspection of all properties should be considered a immediate priority for all houseowners and Landlords.
This follows the tragic death of a mother of two, originally from Birmingham, who moved with her family to Cornwall into a rented property. Sadly an electric fault and the lack of earth bonding caused the lethal electrocution and Mrs. Whithall died instantly, simply from running a bath. Following the inquest which was closed late last year, her husband now rightly calls for a change in the law on electrical installations in rented properties. (Source NAPIT)
