Hi Kathy, Sorry i am new to this discussion and web-site, but from what i can see as an NICEIC Approved electrical contractor with the new regulations that look like they will be coming into force, is that the 28 days is for the electrical report to be issued to the tenant after the testing has been carried out. It is also very rare that a full rewire would be required unless the electrical installation was in a very dangerous condition, and in which case i would expect the tenant and landlord would support this as we all know electricity can be highly dangerous. Electrical Installation Condition reports (EICR) are valid for 5 years, so the answer to your question on a report completed 2 years ago would be yes they are still valid. A consumer unit does not always need to be upgraded on a partial rewire or even the addition of a new circuit or alteration providing the existing consumer unit has the capacity to take the new circuits and can provide the protection required (RCD protection for example), and also providing the MCB's/RCD's required are still available.
