Well, I shall feel a lot happier about any Part-P-ignoring work I may

Since my earlier post I've decided to just get on and replace my CU. Use
the 10 ways to make the system much better and safer. But - with gritted
teeth - before I put my place on the market I may submit a
regularisation application for this and various other things that all
will come within the £5K value of work. It will cost around £300 for
nothing really, but a week's interest while solicitors argue is more
than that. And the new CU will be one less thing for a buyer to argue a
price drop on.

Won't you still have to also pay for the "Inspect and Test" certificate
as well as the £300 if your LA does not honour the Approved Doc?
