I personally (and would advise any client) would answer any request for a reduction with two requirements;-

- a copy of the buyer's valuation report to show the conditions and current value of the house and if the value goes up after the work is done

- a copy of the electrician's report detailing the work required and the estimate of costs.

Once you have these, you can establish whether the issue is a try-on, or if it's a genuine situation you should be prepared to negotiate through.

As buyers we were asked for this from the mortgage company so I reckon they're telling the truth - you could ask for a second electrician to have a look.
