As I said it also concerns me if they have lied about anything else (for example damp or flooding), as I know they've lied about electrics & building work & also the question about who else looking lives at the property he's only put his wife but they have 2 children & he hasn't listed them, so that's 3 lies I absolutely know of.
Appreciate if I take this up with the solicitor it could cause delays, but I also don't want this hanging over my head so not really sure what to do & if he's done the work I don't see why I should have to pay for someone to inspect it as it's an expensive enough process!

He hasn't concealed the children, and it would make no difference one way or the other, so that's just an oversight! I suspect some of the rest might be too. People take very different levels of care when filling-in forms, depending largely on their possession of jobsworth genes.
I don't see how you can be truly sure about the fitness of the electrics wihout a report from another electrician, and maybe the rest of the house would be best surveyed too. Whether you can convince matey to pay towards the former is another matter, depending on how much he wants to sell to you, how his pride might be dented and what the market is like. He certainly won't pay for the latter.
You can check for flooding potential here:

and by getting an insurance quote for the property. Insurers will know about any earlier claims.
