Just how the hell are they going to police this?

One method is already in place and can be easily extended.

When a hous comes up for sale the buyers solicitor issues a
questionaire running to several pages. To this can be added questions
like "has any work of any nature been carried out to any part of the
electrical system to your knowledge?".

If the answer is yes then the follow-up will be "please add the
certificates for the work to this questionaire".

If the answer is no then the current homeowner would be held liable in
the event that work was carried out and not notified.
