Landlords electrical safety certificate - NICEIC?

Hi guys
We are going to be renting out our flat in a few months time and know we do not need a electrical safety certificate by law but will get one done as a good landlord.
We have had an elctrican in do replace our oven and would like to use him to do the safety certificate. However I do not think he is NICEIC registered as it is not on his adverts etc but he is Part P registered.

My question is does a sparky need to be NECEIC registered to do a landlords electrical safety certificate?

Any help much aprreciated.

    I've asked my fella this and he said no a Part P cannot do the check but you don't need to be NICEIC either.

    They have to have done an Inspect and Test certificate to test existing supplies.

    Hope that helps.
