Do I need a PAT Test for rental properties?
Many landlords mistakenly believe that since their properties are rented as unfurnished, there are no portable appliances and therefore a Portable Appliance Test (PAT) is unnecessary. However, it’s important to note that white goods such as washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, fridge freezers, and portable heaters are considered portable appliances. Moreover, these appliances have a higher probability of developing faults, with a significant number of accidental dwelling fires caused by faulty appliances and leads.
