We bought with no certificates on gas or electric. Insisted seller had a GSC done for the boiler and ran the risk with the electrics. Once we moved in we replaced the electric MCB as it looked fairly old (fuse wire rather than switches). Lender didn't raise any objections.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Thanks everyone, without too much boring detail I wasn't involved in too much of this extension but certainly given to understand the inspections were paid as the man was called out, roughly £400-500 each time. The final bit was external ground work, at least I think that was the final bit. I'm pretty certain they are fine as I used a reputable company to carry out the work.0

A slightly different matter to an entire extension. Where the cost of rectification could be considerable. Would you buy a secondhand car without a full service history?0
