Electrical Certificate

Hi all,
We're in the process of selling and buying, and our buyers solicitors have asked for a whole heap of building control certificates for work we've had since we've been there. I've managed to find most (and pay for some I haven't), but I've no idea where to go to get a copy of our electrical certificate following a complete rewire we had a few years ago.
The electrician has since retired and isn't contactable.
Any idea where I can get a copy of this certificate?
Thanks v much!
James

It's not going to be archived somewhere else. Are you sure you didn't get one at the time?0

You can pay for an indemnity policy to cover you for any certificates you don't have. Don't panic. Bit of a waste of money, but it is the solution.0

If the sparkie was a 'competant person', he would have signed off the work for Building Regs and that would be recorded with the council. Any sparkie who is registered with http://www.niceic.com/ would automaticaly be a 'competant person'.

If the spark was NICEIC or NAPIT registered then he should have notified the council of the rewire as it is a notifiable job. Enter your postcode in the search facility on your local council's building control website and see what it brings up.
