* 5 years for a rented home if the property is in a suitable condition for continued use and

* The suitability of the switchgear and control gear.

* The condition of the existing fuse-board is up to standard and is fire rated. Has the electrical installation have RCD protection for additional protection.

* The type of wiring used and installed and its condition is suitable for continued use. There’s many cables that are now obsolete and are not suitable for today’s installation such as VIR (vulcanised India Rubber) Cable which potentially could be a fire hazard.
