Hi again Hoploz

1) Do I get it right saying your reply confirm AdrianC’s. You advise having a new electrical safety check before selling. It makes sense. (Although estate agents always mention regularization). Is there a specific name for the certificate I need to ask the electrician before paying him?

3) An electrician did some amendments in 2012 filling in a ‘domestic electrical installation certificate’ saying that works were done before 2008: the certificate number box says 'TEMP_ 22/11/2012.
I paid him waiting for a non-temporary, real certificate, but he ran away...
I’ll call NAPIT tomorrow, not sure they can help.

I have been in denial for years about this Part P certificate for declaring completion to Building Approval. Wishing to get a retrospective installation certificate is still inside me (I see that it would be pointless but why not possible?).

Thank you so much.

Seriously. Do nothing until prompted.

Estate agents don't know what they're on about. Regularisation is when something is looked at by the council to make it comply when it was done without building regs. You've had building regs permission but you're missing specific documentation which prevents you from getting the completion certificate, if I see it correctly.

I am now wondering whether you might be able to get a completion certificate somehow if this issue can be sorted out. Best thing to do is chat to a trusted electrician and see what he thinks would be the best check to have done. Perhaps he could check over the installs and this might satisfy the building control officer so he might sign the full job off?

Thank you all for replying twice.
Hoploz, what you say makes sense and sounds reassuring. Finger crossed for finding a good and realistic electrician and sympathetic building control staff. Will see whether to do nothing until prompted, as marksoton suggested.
Thanks again everybody (for now).
