Habitation Check Pricing - How much?

[APS_Adria]

I have just had my habitation check done at the same time as my first MOT. Stupidly, I didn't ask the price before hand, I thought it was about £80-100. I have just picked it up and they charged £258 + VAT! I was absolutely astounded. I just feel a bit ripped off tbh. My own fault for not checking but the guy was saying it took at least 4 hours and they did 40+ tests, etc. I am sure the last one I had done was less than £100.

I am curious, what do people pay for their Hab check?

I've always believed that it is illegal, in connection with a warranty, to insist that required services must be carried out only by the issuing party. So long as the required servicing is done, that is sufficient.

Isn't that only for cars?

The same applies to the vehicle part, but presumably not to the habitation /body construction part.

Full hab check required by swift or ingress warranty will be void.
I have this in writing from Swift.
