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?

Do people get hab checks on their houses….

 

[IRHP]

4 hours is ridiculous. Adria dealer does mine for £200 inc vat but it was an offer if I booked it 2 years ago. You can use the Approved workshop Scheme to find somewhere else next time. Adria recognise the scheme for keeping the water ingress warranty. https://www.approvedworkshops.co.uk/find-approved-workshop

[Mr porky]

Just shorts of £500 for a morelo. Ouch.

 

[dunnah01]

If they provided a checklist of what was done then there's plenty on here who can tell you if it was a reasonable price

 

[yorkiebar]

Consort hab check is £450 and a condition of the warranty.

It's very thorough though.

[PP Bear]

Never had one done, I just do my own and act on anything I need to do

 

[Just smiffy]

I don’t spend anything on hab checks but then my van doesn’t really warrant it, but if I did have an expensive one which I did at one time I learnt enough to do them myself, probably far better then some oink in a dealers….

 

[Just smiffy]

And as for warranty… we all know how useful they are…

 

[royandsharont]

My Adria dealer charged 4 hours labour so over £300 last July, and I saw them remove the passenger seat to disconnect & check each of the leisure batteries which took a fair bit of time. NCC suggest the examination should take around 3 hours & this year I’ll use one of their members at about £180 I think. There is a list of things they should do HERE

 

[Stag man]

Had one done a week ago, £190
Gas, leccy, moisture, alarms
Came with inspection sheets (5) so I could see all the readings

What you having done? Annual Leakage Inspection €150 at Morelo Service Centre and I paid €120 at Morelo Murcia last year. Leakage inspection is all that’s required to maintain warranty.

This is similar to our Dethleffs. To keep warranty and water ingress valid full service, mot, hab check and underspray cost just over £1000 we have to take it to dethleffs dealer to get the warranty sticker. Looking forward to when warranty is up so we can get a mobile guy to come to us.
