Preparing a Property for Sale or Rental

Selling your home, purchasing an investment property or preparing a property for new tenants?

JP Electrical Installers provides electrical safety and compliance inspections for residential properties throughout Perth. We can inspect the property, identify electrical safety concerns and complete any necessary work before settlement or the start of a tenancy.

Following the inspection, we can provide a written report outlining the items checked, any defects identified and any recommended repairs or upgrades.

Electrical Checks Before Selling a Home

Before a residential property is transferred to a new owner, it is important to confirm that required electrical safety equipment is correctly installed and operating.

Our pre-sale electrical inspection can include:

• Checking that the switchboard has suitable RCD protection
• Testing the operation of installed RCDs
• Checking smoke-alarm locations, condition and expiry dates
• Confirming that mains-powered smoke alarms are operating
• Inspecting the switchboard for visible damage or unsafe components
• Checking accessible power points, switches and light fittings
• Identifying damaged or exposed electrical wiring
• Checking accessible earthing and bonding arrangements
• Identifying electrical work that may require repair or upgrading

Any issues found will be clearly explained so they can be addressed before settlement.

Electrical Checks Before Renting Out a Property

Landlords and property managers have a responsibility to provide a safe rental property.

Before tenants move in, we can inspect the electrical installation and check important safety items, including:

• RCD protection for power and lighting circuits
• Correct operation of safety switches
• Mains-powered smoke alarms
• Smoke-alarm age and expiry dates
• Damaged power points and switches
• Loose, broken or unsafe light fittings
• Visible switchboard defects
• Accessible electrical wiring
• Fixed electrical equipment where requested

We can also provide ongoing electrical maintenance for landlords, property managers and real-estate agencies.

Written Inspection Report

After completing the inspection, we can provide a written electrical inspection report for the owner, selling agent or property manager.

The report can include:

• Property and inspection details
• Items inspected and tested
• RCD and smoke-alarm information
• Electrical defects identified
• Recommended repairs or upgrades
• Details of rectification work completed
• Relevant electrical certification

The report provides a clear record of the property’s condition at the time of inspection. It does not guarantee that hidden, inaccessible or future electrical faults are absent.

Repairs and Compliance Work

If the property does not meet the required standard, JP Electrical Installers can quote and complete the necessary electrical work.

Common rectification work includes:

• Installing or replacing RCDs
• Upgrading old switchboards
• Installing compliant smoke alarms
• Replacing expired or faulty smoke alarms
• Repairing damaged power points and switches
• Correcting unsafe wiring
• Replacing damaged light fittings
• Rectifying defects found during the inspection

An Electrical Safety Certificate will be supplied for applicable electrical installation work completed by JP Electrical Installers.
