Bridgend
Bridgend has a large private rental sector built on housing stock that spans a century, and the pattern of findings follows the age of the property closely. The pre-war terraces around the town centre most often produce three things: no RCD protection at all, main bonding to gas and water that was adequate under older regulations and is not now, and evidence of alterations done by somebody who was not an electrician.
Post-war and 1970s stock in areas like Litchard and Pen-y-Fai tends to test better but throws up borrowed neutrals from old lighting alterations and the occasional undersized circuit that has been quietly overloaded for years by a modern kitchen. Newer builds in Broadlands and Brackla usually pass cleanly, and the report takes less time.
None of that is unusual and very little of it is alarming. What matters is that every circuit gets tested individually rather than a sample, because the faults that matter hide on the circuits nobody thinks about. Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act a copy has to reach your contract-holder within 14 days of the inspection, and missing that window can render the dwelling unfit even when the wiring passed — which is why the report comes back same or next day.

A fixed £200 + VAT (£240 inc VAT) for a standard residential property, the same for landlords and homeowners. Larger or more complex properties are quoted individually and always in writing first.
Two to four hours for a standard 3-bed, because every circuit is tested individually. Older properties with more circuits or more previous alterations take longer.
Yes. Every home let on an occupation contract in Wales must have a valid EICR renewed at least every five years, with a copy served on the contract-holder within 14 days of the inspection.
C1 and C2 codes mean remedial work before the report can be marked satisfactory. Because the same electrician did the inspection, he can price and carry out the remedial work himself rather than you having to find a second contractor. You always agree the cost first.
