10. Can I get cheaper house insurance if work is certified to Part P?
Insurance companies are not yet offering cheaper home insurance if your electricalinstallation is checked compliant to latest regulations and Part P.
We are seeing 'required' demands from insurance companies that are let through
landlords - safety and Part P compliant against any recent updates / changes.
Longer term (2006 onwards) we expect additional movement through the government
and through insurance companies to begin to 'drive' Part P, requiring electrical
certification to be confirmed against building works since 2005 and creating a
framework for confirmation of safety upon change of ownership (conveyance).
As Part P is now a regulatory requirement for electrical installations within homes,
insurance companies will challenge claims when faced with related electrical issues,
with possible failure (invalidation) of the claim, if Part P was not followed.
