Home sellers electrical survey
Find out first. Before your buyer does.
A home sellers electrical survey puts you in control before the sale gets busy. MPS finds likely issues and gives you clear costs. So you can fix them, price them in, or prepare your answer.

0113 39096700800 77974720770 3020260info@mps-electrical.comDo not let the electrical question arrive late
Late findings create pressure because the buyer is already emotionally and financially invested.
Finding the issue yourself gives you more time. So you can choose a response before the chain is waiting.
Buyer asks a question
You already know the likely answer and the real cost.
Buyer survey raises it
Without prior information, you may be forced into a rushed quote or concession.
Front foot
A known problem is easier to manage than a surprise.
You can repair the work before viewings. Alternatively, you can hold a quote and explain the position clearly.
Either way, you control the timing instead of reacting under pressure.
Three sensible routes
01
Fix it
Complete agreed remedial work before the sale reaches the pressured stage.
02
Price it in
Keep a clear cost so you understand the number if the buyer raises the issue.
03
Hold the evidence
Keep photographs and findings ready for your agent or conveyancer.
The useful window is before the sale becomes urgent
You do not need to wait for a buyer to ask.
The earlier you understand the electrics, the more choices you have.
Maximum room to act
Survey the property while there is no buyer deadline.
Still useful
You can still obtain the electrical position while viewings continue.
Time matters more
If a buyer raises concerns, existing evidence can speed up the conversation.
If work is needed
MPS can quote the remedial work or rewire.
If the survey finds work worth doing before sale, MPS can price it. So you do not need a second contractor to interpret the same findings.
Where a rewire is appropriate, the team can plan and carry it out using the applicable BS 7671 requirements.
Common questions
Home sellers electrical survey FAQs.
Practical answers for sellers who want more control over timing and cost.
Do I have to get an electrical survey before selling my house?
For most owner-occupier sales, a pre-sale electrical survey is not generally a standard requirement. Rented homes can follow different rules, so ask your conveyancer about your own sale.
Could an electrical survey put buyers off?
The survey does not create the problem. Instead, it tells you what is already there, so you can plan before a buyer raises it.
Do I have to disclose what MPS finds?
Disclosure can depend on your sale and the questions asked. MPS does not give legal advice, so ask your conveyancer what you need to disclose.
How long does a home sellers electrical survey take?
It depends on the house size, layout, access and condition. MPS can give you a likely timescale before booking.
Can MPS come before the estate agent takes the photos?
Yes, subject to diary space. In practice, an earlier inspection gives you more time to act on any findings.
How much does a pre-sale electrical survey cost?
The price depends on the property and survey scope. Contact MPS for a clear price before booking.
What if I would rather price the work in?
That may suit some sellers. MPS can give you a real cost first, so you can make that choice with better information.
