Hmm... I had a similar discussion with @luvulongtime this very morning, it depends upon where you drink. Josephs for me.

How many pints was your house?
I always price things in pints.
We moved in May last year. We had to get both gas and electric safety tests done. Estate agents told us it is a legal requirement to have them done for rental, but it is not for sales, however most buyers want it doing as it shows up on the survey if they haven't. Cost us about £110 for the electric test, then another £200 for minor bits and bobs to be brought upto current code, about £60 for the gas one which was fine.

I'd send a sparky down to do it at my expense if he wasn't such a kerntCan you not get the lad a discount?
You can have them tested. No, before you ask I left house bashing long ago.
Are you fuckWe had to get one done as well as a boiler check. We sold our house to the builders of our new home like so not sure it is the same for a private sale.
Don't be surprised if the buyer pulls out then. I would want one doing if I was buying a house. You are meant to get them done regularly anyway.
We are in the process of selling our house in North Yorkshire and have found a buyer. The buyer's solicitor has requested that we get an electrical safety check done on the house which will cost us around £180.
Is this normal procedure? Anyone else have to do this?

Your attitude stinks and your username is a lie.Tell the cheeky fuckers to do it themselves. If it's such an issue to them the sale will prolly fall through anyway
Are you fuck
No it isn't, unless you rent it outYes its a legal requirement gas as well i think. Mind i only paid spark 100
Is this not just a way for the buyer to lay the expense of a survey on the seller. They want to buy your house. If there is no obvious electrical fault then tell them to pay for their own survey, specifically to cover electrics. Some on here are saying, its only x'£'s,get it done. It also works the other way. They like your house, they want to buy it. Do you really think they will pull out for the sake of the price of a survey ? They effectively want a written guarantee, paid for by you. Some surveys in the past have been piss poor, and the surveyers have got away scott free. Probably the reason why this situation has come about. I'd just tell them,the house is yours, "sold as seen".

It's been on the market since JanuaryThat deends on the market though surely. Jim van clinkenhoff might have had his house for sale for ages and this might be the first nibble, for the sake of a couple of hundred quid it might not be worth losing the sale
Buyer should pay for most things as they are spending the money on the purchase. Makes sense. Caveat emptor etc.
If the seller does the survey's etc they may just make them look good to sell the house.
Feel sorry for buyers though if they pay for surveys etc and find either they are looking at a joke house or the seller takes house off the market.
