Habitation certificate

[stevelaing]

Hi all
We had a habitation certificate done.....
But it failed to pick up a non working split charger amongst other things, I have no confidence in the certificate to be fair,
Is this a must have lawfully certificate, when a dealer sells a campervan.
Sorry if there is a similar post
Cheers

Is a defective split charging system anything to do with a habitation certificate? I thought it was for health and safety requirements.

Personally I think a habitation certificate is a total waste of money for a Panel Van Conversion. If you are not happy with checking things yourself then get the gas system checked but there is little else that you won't discover with a couple of days use as you have already proved.

A correctly carried out habitation check should check ALL items relating to the living area of the vehicle including damp checks and safety items and provide a report on the findings or a simple tick sheet to indicate what has been checked .

Anyway a habitation certificate is not required by anyone.

I wouldn't expect the check to pick that up.
Did you get a list of things that would be checked ?

The test sheet says "electrical chargers"

Interesting - they should have picked it up then.
